Conservation Status
VULNERABLE. Restricted range species: present in Eastern Zaïre lowlands EBA. Rare and very poorly known. Has very small global range within which warfare and deforestation continue; population small and declining as a result of ongoing destruction and fragmentation of lowland forest. Fewer than ten specimens of this weaver are known to exist, the last dated 1959; two sight records from Okapi Faunal Reserve, one in 1990 and other in 1994.
