The population trend seems to be stable, and thus the species doesn't approach the thresholds for Vulnerable beneath the population trend criterion >30% decline over 10 years or 3 generations

 The population size has not been quantified, however it's not believed to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable beneath the population size criterion (<10,000 mature people with a unbroken decline calculable to be >10% in 10 years or 3 generations, or with a given population structure). For these reasons the species is evaluated as Least Concern
