Assessment rationale/justification
This population totals about 130 individuals and appears to be currently stable. Oil and gas development in and around the prime habitat of this population poses the greatest threat and will likely reduce the quality of their habitat. However, there is little information as to how this species is, or is not, affected by oil and gas development activities.; Cette population compte environ 130 individus et semble stable à  l'heure actuelle. Les exploitations pétrolières et gazières à  l'intérieur et autour de l'habitat principal de cette population représentent les plus grandes menaces et réduiront probablement la qualité de l'habitat. Cependant, il existe peu de renseignements sur la façon dont l'espèce est touchée ou non par les activités de l'exploitation pétrolière et gazière.
