Assessment rationale/justification
IUCN notes that this species is absent from central forested regions of Africa, however there is a confusion with H. ruber and likely to be present throughout. Cave and cavity roosting bats, occuring in smaller colonies, but because of the specialized roosting requirements could see large population destroyed by roost site destruction or alteration

Assessment rationale/justification
Global estimate of nearly 30% decline due to hunting/persecution. A well-known colony in Kampala (Uganda) declined in numbers over a forty-year period from ca. 250,000 animals to 40,000 in 2007 (Monadjem et al. 2007). Show extreme roost fidelity and roost in colonies of up to millions of individuals.

Assessment rationale/justification
Few sightings in normal habitat for species (savanna) but does occur ocasionally in camera trap photos in forest; e.g. in forest/grassland mosaics in Kibale concurrently with servals and in farmland near Dura swamp area (D.R. Mills), which is probably an adaptation to prey availability. However, everywhere sparse and possibly less than 2000 mature individuals therefore needs further assessment as could be threatened.

Only two known sub-populations, AOO 4880. Number of individuals estimated at 18,000 in 1962, declined to 2749 in 1995 and has since recoverd to 8108 individuals. Groves and Grubb suggest Lelwel Hartebeest is a separate species, thus even more globally restricted (Sudan DRC, Ethiopia, Uganda). IUCN state global decline of Lelwel's abover 50% over 3 generations, so Uganda populations in recovery phase doing relatively well but numbers/locations too low to be complacent
