Population It is reportedly a fairly common species. Population Trend Decreasing Major Threats Loss of available habitat through the localized clearance of forest is a major threat. It is also threatened by changes in waterway management, for example, following dam construction. Conservation Actions It is not known whether or not this species occurs in any protected areas, though there are several within its range. It is protected by national legislation in India.
