Conservation[edit]
This species is listed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN)) as least concern, citing its wide distribution across a number of countries, its large population and its occurrence in protected areas as the basis for the assessment.[1]
In Australia, the Queensland Department of Environment and Science (DES) has assessed it as near threatened.[2] Although there is no explanation provided by DES, the species only occurs in a few scattered locations in Queensland,[5] which may account for the status.
