Assessment rationale/justification
Only known extent of occurrence are the Ugandan Lake Victoria Islands a fair amount of which have been converted for palm oil growing. The remaining AOO is estimated to be less than 100km2, the area of occupancy within this is currently unknown but declining. Need to calculate total EOO based on Ssese island area.
