updated status and kept geoprivacy auto-obscured |

Agreed. Anything this cute is going to be interfered with by humans, whether hunting, capture, or just catbothering.
I agree! Retaining its geoprivacy is a good idea to me. It fortunately lives in pretty remote habitat, but I would not put it past poachers to try to find them.
I updated the status from NT to LC (2019).
"Predation by sympatric carnivores, herding dogs, and human offtake are the main known causes of mortality, but habitat disturbance and fragmentation is believed to be their main threat" - despite the LC status, given the threat of hunting by humans I'd think we might want to leave the geoprivacy as obscured.
