falls into the Vulnerable (VU) category under Criterion B1ab(iii)+2ab(iii). The VU designation is the lowest of three threatened categories, but indicates the taxon still faces a high risk of extinction in the wild. It has an area of occupancy &lt;2000 km2 and extent of occurrence &lt;20,000 km2, less than 10 known locations that are possibly fragmented, and an observed continuing decline in habitat quality overall. Such suitable habitat may continue decreasing in size without active conservation management. In areas where the landscape has been actively managed for ungulates and invasive plant species (i.e. Auwahi, Kanaio Natural Area Reserve),
