Justification
|
This spectacular pigeon is classified as Vulnerable on the basis of a small estimated population which is inferred to be rapidly declining through habitat loss and hunting. However, the total population size, the effect and extent of habitat degradation and the impact of hunting and trade are all poorly known and further research may lead to reclassification.
