The landscape is highly fragmented and includes extensive areas of both active and abandoned paddocks and has been directly influenced by the infrastructure of the Mazar hydroelectric project. In all the localities, the montane forest has been drastically reduced, particularly next to villages and cities.

is not a locally abundant species given that only a handful of individuals (&lt;7) were found in each of the visited localities. We therefore recommend that this species be categorized as Endangered B1ab (iii), following the IUCN criteria, because its extent of occurrence is less than 5000 km2 and its natural habitat has been severely fragmented.
