Justification
Listed as Least Concern as the species is common, widespread, and there are no major threats resulting in a significant population decline. The status of Sharpe’s Grysbok is unlikely to change in the long term if it continues to be well represented in protected areas and on private land. The population trend is generally stable in protected areas and on private farms, but gradually decreasing elsewhere as hunting pressures increase with the growth of human populations.
