Justification
Numbers of this isolated subspecies have undergone a severe decline. Very small remnant populations survive in the Aberdares, Mount Kenya, Mau Forest and Eburu Forest. Current estimates (2007) suggest a total of 75-140 individuals, well below the threshold of 250 mature individuals. The taxon is still declining and none of the subpopulations listed above contains >50 mature individuals. The lower population estimate would also qualify for Critically Endangered under criterion D.
