Range
This species is one of the most widespread sengis, occurring in forest, woodland, and thicket habitats in central and eastern Africa from DR Congo to northeastern South Africa. Their occurrence depends on the availability of suitable forest or woodland habitat with dense underbrush, which is discontinuous throughout their range (Skinner & Chimimba 2005). It is an edge-of-range species within the assessment region, occurring in woodland and forest habitats in Limpopo, KwaZulu-Natal and perhaps Swaziland. The subspecies <em>P. t. warreni</em> occurs in KwaZulu-Natal and may be a South African endemic form (Corbet & Hanks 1968), where their distribution is predominantly coastal (Rathbun 2005), whereas <em>P. t. schwanni</em> occurs in the riparian forests of the northern Limpopo and across the border to the north. Although it has not been recorded from Swaziland (Monadjem 1998), it may possibly occur there marginally in suitable forest habitats.<br/><br/>The estimated area of occupancy (AOO) globally is 2,485,700 km<sup>2</sup> based on censored minimum convex polygon with no consideration of fragmented habitat. The estimated global extent of occurrence is 5,700,000 km<sup>2</sup>. Within the assessment region, the AOO is estimated to be 6,438 km<sup>2</sup> based on occupied grid cells. However, if we use forest and woodland areas as a proxy for occupied habitat (Mucina & Rutherford 2006), the estimated AOO for <em>P. t. schwanni</em> and <em>P. t. warreni</em>, based on remaining forest habitat, is 72 and 192 km<sup>2 </sup>respectively; and thus 264 km<sup>2</sup> for the species overall.
Major system
Major habitats
There are no major identified threats range-wide, although habitat loss through woodland clearing and subsistence snaring may have impacts on local subpopulations in the assessment region. If we assume that both woodland clearing and subsistence hunting increase with rural population density and settlement expansion, it is suspected there is an ongoing loss of habitat and mature individuals, especially the forests of KwaZulu-Natal (see below).
