It now very likely only survives in good populations within the Protected areas. International trade in very high numbers is giving cause for concern.

Assessment rationale/justification
The Migadde Observation in the Mid-1990s would suggest the species was probably widespread in the country. It now very likely only survives in good populations within the Protected areas. International trade in very high numbers is giving cause for concern. (reported 1,000,000 USH reward per animal in 2012)
