Assessment rationale/justification
The species was widely distributed across the mixed evergreen forests of the southeast and northeast, and the deciduous forests in the north of Greater Mymensingh (Khan 1982, 2015, Kamruzzaman 2009, Khan 2013). The populations have declined rapidly due to hunting for meat and habitat loss. It is presumed that at least 50% of its Area of Occupancy and Extent of Occurrence and habitat quality have been severely degraded over the last 10 years. Thus, it has been categorized as Endangered.
