Conservation Status
ENDANGERED. Restricted-range species: present in Tanzania-Malawi Mountains EBA. Fairly common, but has very small range. Total population estimated to be no more than 10,000 individuals, and decreasing owing to continuing habitat loss. Most of its range is protected within forest reserves, but this is ineffective at preventing gradual loss of habitat along edges of the reserves. Also adversely affected by severe fires on Mt Zomba in 1995/96. Possible presence on Mt Chiperoni, in N Mozambique, merits investigation.
