Assessment rationale/justification
Opinion still divided on the occurrence of this species in Uganda as field observations may only represent dichromatism, however camera trap records of bush pigs that look like P. porcus have been obtained from Kibale (D.R. Mills 2014), therefore listing of DD appropriate until further verification obtained.
