Population
Estimated population is 2,500 - 9,999 (2010) and decreasing.

Habitat destruction and degradation due to development projects such as the Trans Oceanica Highway, which is likely to open the region to further deforestation for cattle ranching and biofuels in the future, is the main threat.
