We classify populations as vulnerable if they are likely connected to other nearby villages (meta-populations) and have relatively large cleared areas (> 10 ha). Critically endangered populations are at higher risk of extinction because of their smaller cleared areas, recent migrations, and/or disconnection from meta-populations (i.e., lone villages).
