Why suggested for a Global Red List Assessment?

Based on Inaturalist records, it is only found in Southeast Asia and its forests are declining (30% from 2005 to 2015; 21% projected from 2019-2050 -  Estoque et al. 2019). This species is also suspected of population decline exceeding
30% within three generations (50 years). So, it considers as A4c Vulnerable
