Assessment rationale/justification
The Bangladesh population is fragmented with a few exceptions of bordering locations being contiguous with the Indian populations. Since the threat to this taxon is high in the country, it is prone to declines and local extinctions, hence the national status is retained as Critically Endangered for the country.

Assessment rationale/justification
Less than 50 mature individuals exist in Bangladesh, which is a decline of >80% in the last 20 years, making this taxon extremely vulnerable to extinction in the near future. The population is also isolated from the Indian locations. Hence the higher category of Critically Endangered

(see Assessment details)

Assessment rationale/justification
Very few individuals in the country isolated from neighbouring Indian locations. The habitat is degrading rapidly thereby causing a continuing decline in mature individuals in the country. The status is therefore more critical in Bangladesh compared to the global status. Hence the status in Bangladesh is retained as Critically Endangered.

Assessment rationale/justification
This taxon is higly restricted and fragmented in Bangladesh with very few individuals, making it vulnerable to a high risk of local extinction due to changes in habitat and other threats. Since the taxon is equally threatened in the neighbouring locations in India, its status in Bangladesh is Critically Endangered and retained as such.
