Assessment rationale/justification
Small restricted populations. Possibly extinct in Djibouti. Lamprey 2003 lists KVNP population as numbering about 10 individuals as per Greater Kudu, although the population in 1995 is estimated at 400. Aerial surveys throughout its range in Uganda have not recorded this species (1967, 1982, 1998). Likely to be in small numbers if still present. Listing based on numbers, but Lamprey also estimates AOO which could also be used.
