Assessment rationale/justification
Permanent population in Bwindi, Mgahinga fluctuates and currently no resident population. Affected by cross border movements. Total population estimated at 400 (2011, UWA), population size likely to be +/- 50%. Population increasing, population estimated at 150 in 1982, 300 in 1990 (total population) so mature individuals less than 250.

Assessment rationale/justification
Only 1 completely wild population in Uganda (MFNP). Over 2 generations the population of MFNP has fluctuated from an estimated 575 (1970s) to 5 in 1980 and back to 880 (WCS 2014) including juveniles. Previous wild population in KVNP considered unviable as numbers had dropped to 4 animals by 1991 and despite reintroductions the numbers are now still only 20 with little recruitment. Only introduced populations now occur in Kenya: Lake Nakuru (where numbers still declining) and other fenced sites in Kenya. VU listing as AOO (MFNP north of Nile) 1798km2 but suitable habitat more limited so should be upgraded and in reality
