Rationale
Listed as Least Concern in view of its wide distribution within the assessment region, including many protected areas, as well as being able to survive in modified and agricultural landscapes. Additionally, this species is connected to its extensive range throughout West, East and southern Africa, and there are no major threats within the assessment region that could cause population decline. Further research is necessary to define its geographical distribution more accurately and to resolve the potential species complex.Regional population effects: Based on recent molecular studies, the species range is believed to be continuous throughout eastern Africa (Eastern Clade) and the western and central regions of southern Africa (Southern Clade) (Chevret et al. 2014) (see Distribution). There is possible migration between South Africaâs northern border regions, especially through the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Conservation Area (GLTFCA), and northern KwaZulu-Natal.
