MMouse,
The time frame to which you refer also coincides exactly with with the beginning of massive tribal netting of the streams of this area. Coincidence? I don't think so. There's more to the story than just "population" or "habitat loss" ( or netting, for that matter). It's a complex problem that can only be dealt with one step at a time.
