The species was previously described as common to abundant; however,
recently there have been very few records, suggesting a moderately rapid
decline. Francolinus streptophorus has a disjunct distribution, with populations
in Burundi, Cameroon, Kenya, Rwanda,Tanzania and Uganda.

in both range and abundance and is now suspected to have a moderately
small population.
