Talk:Black wildebeest

Conservation Status
Please take this with a grain of salt as I'm a Wiki reader not and editor :)

When I came upon this page I was a bit confused how a species that had been widely exterminated in it's home environment could still be listed as least concern. Following the first external reference link I read this: "Indiscriminate hunting and restriction of the best fertile land for farming has reduced the population sizes of many African antelope, including this species. Connochaetes gnou now exists only in contained populations on game farms and in zoos (Macdonald 1995). The IUCN rates it a species of Least Concern because of the large number of captive individuals. (Macdonald, 1995)" which clarified to a point. This whole article needs to be expanded a bit (IMO). Perhaps the conservation status could be brought to a finer point. Just my 2c. --MWillMS 22:46, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
