The size of its range is declining and the quality of the habitat seems to be deteriorating and negatively impacting the size of the bird’s population. In addition, the passage of fires in the region in previous years has marked a strong fragmentation of its habitat in and around Isalo. However, the species seems to be able to recolonize the areas of burned soils and regenerating tree heaths.
Since this species is specific to Isalo National Park, scientific ecological monitoring and systematic community monitoring of the population of this species is carried out by the park to assess the health of the species. On the other hand, a solid strategy on fire control has been put in place since 2010 for the protection of the exceptional habitat of this species. Community awareness, monitoring by Firealert, acquisition of firefighting equipment and the creation of a fire brigade have been carried out at the level of the National Park of Isalo for the conservation of the habitat of this species.
