Conservation:
Conservation Actions Underway
None is known, however this species occurs in a number of protected areas throughout its range.
Conservation Actions Proposed
Conduct surveys by listening for its call to investigate its altitudinal distribution, ecological requirements and the levels of threat it faces and thereby determine whether any specific conservation measures are required. Provide adequate support for the conservation of relevant lowland protected areas. Lobby for reduced logging of lowland forest in the Sundaic region.
