Would presume LC in absence of threats but only in two PA's so if numbers low could be at risk as population size not known

Assessment rationale/justification
Only two known sub-populations, AOO 4880. Number of individuals estimated at 18,000 in 1962, declined to 2749 in 1995 and has since recoverd to 8108 individuals. Groves and Grubb suggest Lelwel Hartebeest is a separate species, thus even more globally restricted (Sudan DRC, Ethiopia, Uganda). IUCN state global decline of Lelwel's abover 50% over 3 generations, so Uganda populations in recovery phase doing relatively well but numbers/locations too low to be complacent

Assessment rationale/justification
Very small population in only one park. Sightings in KVNP by Lamprey et al 2002. Further opportunistic sightings recently in Pian Upe and road between Kabwong and Moroto. Based on these observations, population size inferred to be less than 50 total and as scattered would be less than 50 in each sub-population. Individuals may cross-borders to Sudan and Kenya but as these populations are also in decline, this potential is likely to decrease in future.
