Only occasional camera trap photos have been recorded for Uganda in a few forest reserves. Data on populations largely lacking, but evidence of decline confirmed in Bwindi (B. Mugerwa, 2015) and few camera trap records noted in Maramagambo (D.R. Mills). Recent taxonomic review has placed in same genus as Caracal. Combined AOO less 1919km, but population estimates suggest upgrading. Population less threatened in Kibale despite snaring, possibly due to absence of leopards (D.R. Mills 2014). A forest/farmland overlap survey showed they do not leave the forest edge, even to travel down swamp/bush valleys. Uganda is probably one of the range states where the population has declined the most due to extensive forest clearing in the past and now largely confined to PA's. ANY change in poaching/logging levels or enforcement (will or capacity) could easily extirpate populations from the small refuges in which they currently persist.
