Assessment rationale/justification
The indian population of this taxon is fragmented and under tremendous human pressure. The restricted taxon with few numbers is also declining drastically, making the situation more critical in India. Hence the status within the country is upgraded to Critically Endangered.

Assessment rationale/justification
The loss to habitat in India is at an alarming rate and there has been a decrease in habitat for this species by more than 50% in the last 30 years. The southern locations within India are severely fragmented from the northern Manas population, making the isolated fragments vulnerable to extinction. Hence the status in India is upgraded to Critically Endangered.
