This species is very rare and inhabits within limited areas of the mixed evergreen forests of the northeastern and southeastern parts of the country. The habitats are highly fragmented and in continuing decline with hunting, poaching and killing by the locals. There are only a few sighting records of the species which although can be a result of the secretive nature of the species but extensive hunting by the indigenous communities cannot be overlooked. Although the species is protected by the law of the land but it also restores the right of the indigenous communities' culture. The reasons of the decline of the species population are understood but no such visible action for the protection of the species is in place. So, the species is considered Critically Endangered.
