<Tr> <Td> Sudan South Sudan </Td> <Td> As with all large carnivores, L. pictus populations fell dramatically during the Second Sudanese Civil War, though sightings have occurred in South Sudan . </Td> <Td> The species once occurred in the Sudd, though updates are lacking, and it is not afforded any legal protection in the area . It may be present in the Bangagai Game Reserve and Southern National Park . A pack was sighted in 1995 in Dinder National Park . </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Tanzania </Td> <Td> Prospects in Tanzania are good for L. pictus, as the government imposed a moratorium on all hunting of the species, and it receives full legal protection . Although rare in the north, the south offers ideal habitat, as large tsetse fly populations prevent widespread human colonisation . The Selous Game Reserve and probably Ruaha National Park represent the best strongholds for the species in all of Africa . </Td> <Td> The species is common in the Selous Game Reserve, where about 880 adult specimens were estimated in 1997 . It is also present in neighbouring Mikumi National Park, and has been sighted in other nearby areas . L. pictus may no longer occur in Serengeti National Park, with only 34 individuals being counted in late 1990 . It is occasionally seen in the Kilimanjaro and Arusha National Parks . </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Uganda </Td> <Td> It is unlikely that Uganda has a resident L. pictus population, as the species was heavily persecuted after a 1955 directive to shoot it on sight . Vagrant specimens occasionally enter the country via Tanzania and South Sudan . </Td> <Td> A survey taken in 1982--1992 showed that the species was likely extirpated in Uganda, though sightings in some scattered areas may indicate that L. pictus is recolonising the country . Single individuals and small packs were sighted in Murchison Falls National Park, and were seen several times in the Northern Karamoja Controlled Hunting Area in 1994 . </Td> </Tr> <P> Southern Africa contains numerous viable L. pictus populations, one of which encompasses northern Botswana, northeastern Namibia and western Zimbabwe . In South Africa, around 400 specimens occur in the country's Kruger National Park . Zambia holds two large populations, one in Kafue National Park, and another in the Luangwa Valley . However, the species is rare in Malawi, and probably extinct in Angola and Mozambique . </P>
