Habitat and conservation

It is a common species occurring in dipterocarp and submontane forests at elevations to 1,200 m (3,900 ft) above sea level. Habitat loss can be a local threat, but the overall population is not threatened; it occurs in many protected areas.[2]

gollark: Maybe just have the main bit be Pluto/Charon with the other bodies added in some small way.
gollark: The bident thing might work to reflect the whole "binary system" thing.
gollark: Maybe one of the symbols you suggested in the centre, with a ring/pentagon separated into five differently coloured bits to represent the moons.
gollark: Well, the pentagon can still work. The shape is Pluto, the points are the mööns.
gollark: So five objects in the system in total.
