Qualifying criteria (if given)

Criteria system used
IUCN

(see Assessment details)

Assessment rationale/justification
The Indian population though widely distributed is under severe threats of habitat loss and fragementation and continuing decline in the population over years. The taxon is retained as Endangered for the country due to very less probability of species recovery from neighbouring countries of Bangladesh and Myanmar.

Qualifying criteria (if given)
B2ab(iii)
Criteria system used
IUCN

(see Assessment details)

Assessment rationale/justification
Restricted in distribution in Bhutan and some locations are subject to change in quality as also persecution by humans due to human-animal conflicts. Since the taxon can adapt well, the national status of Endangered is lowered to Near Threatened.

Assessment rationale/justification
The Bhutan population is very highly restricted and very few in numbers as to be categorised as Critically Endnagered using the global criteria. However, since the adjoining populations in India is fairly contiguous with the Bhutan population, there is a possibility of recolonisation. Further, threats to the taxon in Bhutan is not as high as in India, hence the national category of Critically Endangered is downgraded to Endangered in Bhutan.
