There is no reliable population estimate available for this species. The Phong Nha-Khe Bang area probably has the largest remaining single population of hatinhensis globally (Nadler et al. 2003). Sightings in Lao PDR are occasional (Nadler et al. 2003). Although a large area of suitable habitat remains in Phong Nha, population density appears very low (Nadler et al. 2003). Based on interviews and field observations, Pham Nhat et al.
