Assessment details

At least 50% of the individuals of this species are likely to be included within one or more well-managed or reliably protected areas.

Enough well-managed and reliably protected habitat exists, either within or outside of currently protected areas that is suitable for conservation translocation, including population restoration or conservation introduction.

All, or the majority of the population of the species in the wild is sufficiently protected to prevent further decline in numbers (e.g. the bulk of the population occurs in protected areas).

The known population of this species in the wild is large enough to recover naturally, without ex situ intervention if threats are mitigated.

The biological and ecological attributes of this species make it suitable for developing husbandry regimes for more threatened related species.

This species has been maintained in captivity in the past but has not been successfully bred in captivity.

The species is either especially diurnal, active or colourful, or there is an interesting or unusual aspect of its ecology that make it particularly suitable to be an educational ambassador for conservation of the species in the range country, either in zoos or aquariums or within ecotourism activities.

Sufficient animals are likely to be available or potentially available to initiate an ex situ program, if one was recommended.
