The National Red List Project

Please note, this National Red List website contains a subset of data whilst we transition to national focal point driven data uploads. We thank you for your patience with this and welcome national contributors to get in touch to update their national dataset. Terms of Use including citation guidance are found here.

The previous dataset is available via: https://archive.nationalredlist.org/. This site is no longer updated but can help with most enquiries whilst we focus on redevelopment.

Assessment rationale/justification
Small restricted populations. Possibly extinct in Djibouti. Lamprey 2003 lists KVNP population as numbering about 10 individuals as per Greater Kudu, although the population in 1995 is estimated at 400. Aerial surveys throughout its range in Uganda have not recorded this species (1967, 1982, 1998). Likely to be in small numbers if still present. Listing based on numbers, but Lamprey also estimates AOO which could also be used.
