Based on a 2004 estimation of the population of two national parks,
The 2004 population number used by the IUCN in 2016 is not the total population, but the IUCN claims that 95% of the total population occurs in these two parks.[1] The 95% claim appears to be a misreading of the 2004 report, in which it is stated that an estimated 95% of the range of the antelope in the country of Benin is estimated to fall within protected areas.[8] There was a large fall in population number in Waza NP before 2007. In 2013 korrigum were also found to continue to exist in northeast Ghana.[1]
Topi populations have also continued to occur in Zakouma National Park in Chad, as well as in the surrounding game hunting blocks outside the park,[9] where they have been growing.[10] The topi here are called korrigan[9] or tiang,[11] and have been assigned to the subspecies tiang.[11]
There are also large populations in the Niwa area bordering the
