Conservation Status
VULNERABLE. Previously considered Near Threatened. Restricted-range species: present in Vanuatu and Temotu EBA. Total population estimated at c. 5,000 individuals, but suspected to be in low decline owing to limited habitat loss and degradation, mainly through gradual expansion of subsistence agriculture. Although no plans for large-scale commercial logging, there is continual pressure from multi-national logging companies to exploit the forests of Vanikoro.
