État de la populationTexte officiel évaluation IUCNExpert

The Cuban population is considered to be less than 10,000 mature individuals (Bissea 2008) and occurs entirely within a protected area the "Parque Nacional Peninsula de Guanahacabibes". In Grand Cayman, the specific habitat required by this species limits its area of occupancy and number of localities, however where it does occur, it can be very abundant. In Grand Cayman the area, extent and quality of habitat has been observed to be declining (Burton 2008). Although the Cuban population occurs in a protected area, satellite imagery shows human encroachment into the habitat.
