Assessment rationale/justification
Exploitation is known to beoccurring at high levels throughout its range (Wingard andZahler, 2006), although no population data are availableat present. When this information becomes available,this species may be re-categorised as threatened underCriterion A. Generation length has been estimated as fouryears, based on data from Nowak (1991). The assessmentremains unchanged following application of regionalcriteria as there is no signifi cant immigration from adjacent countries.
