This species is listed as vulnerable by the IUCN and is protected
from trade under Appendix II of CITES. Their status in the wild
is relatively unknown since the species lives in a rather inaccessible
habitat so field research on this species is lacking. There are
30 individuals of the same subspecies as the one displayed at
the Minnesota Zoo in captivity in North America. The studbook
that manages recommended captive breeding for this species is
maintained here at the Minnesota Zoo by Tim Hill, Northern Trail
Zookeeper.
