Assessment rationale/justification
Small restricted populations. Some question about actual numbers due to fluctuating counts: LMNP latest population count estimated at 1400 (UWA 2012). Lamprey estimated LMNP 273 (1995), 88 (1996), 285 (1997), 1442 (1998), 199 (1999), 28 (2002), 606 (2006). KVNP estimated at 28, June 2014 (300 in 1967-72). Previously recorded for Katonga and West Madi, and other areas, now not expected to be present.

Despite literature presuming this species is regionally extinct (IUCN SSC Antelope Specialist group 2008), surveys in 2010 give a total of 9 reedbuck in the Greater Virunga landscape and elsewhere also very low numbers and declining (estimated 400 in KVNP, Karenga (WCS, 2014)

Sightings in Napak and Aleklek in mid 1990, Napak 2014, Mt Moroto not since 1970s (Kingdon). Ranking as EN based on presumption of mature individuals less than 2500, given the very few sightings of this antelope. Sport hunting concession operating in Eastern Uganda likely to reduce numbers further

Assessment rationale/justification
Survival largely tied to maintaining adequate extent of prefered habitats. Wide ranging landscape species, needs maintenance of corridors for genetic mixing, populations within any one forest block not considered to be viable. Total population estimate of 5000 in 2002, but some remnant populations only as forest outside PA's rapidly lost. Forest blocks show 50% reduction in forest cover over 3 generations (150 years)
