Assessment rationale/justification
This species is rare and restricted only to a few severely fragmented areas in the eastern Chittagong Hill Tracts in the southeast of Bangladesh. It used to occur in the forests of Rema-Kalenga Wildlife Sanctuary in the northeast until 2000. The quality and quantity of habitats are declining rapidly when prey species is diminishing at an alarming rate. It has been assumed that at least 50% of the population has been reduced over the last ten years. Therefore, it qualifies for Endangered category.
