Assessment rationale/justification
Regular sightings reported but still very little known of numbers and range. Likely to be declining, possibly rapidly. Their populations may be linked to Uganda's extensive papyrus/swamp network and would be affected by clearance as with sitatunga. 20 captures recorded in 3 months along the Dura/Njuguta swamps in Kanyawara community through Kiko tea plantation. There are also quite a few in the grassland/forest mosaic areas of Kibale (D.R. Mills).
