Justification:
Listed as Endangered as the total population is estimated at 600 individuals (with the majority of the population confined to the Senkelle Wildlife Sanctuary and Mazie N.P. in Ethiopia); no subpopulation numbers more than 250 mature individuals. The small size of the population (c. 300 mature individuals) makes it close to qualifying as Critically Endangered.
