Moderately common but decreasing. It occurs in three protected areas: the Réserve Spéciale d’Ambohitantely, Parc National de Mantadia, and Parc National de Ranomafana. It requires relatively pristine forest. The major threat is habitat loss due to subsistence agriculture, logging, charcoal manufacture, invasion and spread of eucalyptus, grazing, fire and expanding human settlement (Glaw and Vences 2008).
