Crested fireback  (Lophura ignita)

The overall population of crested firebacks may total over 100,000 individuals, but is continuously declining due to rapid rates of deforestation, hunting and snaring (2) (6). This pheasant's lowland habitat is severely threatened in many areas by logging for timber production and demands for agricultural land (2), and although the species can tolerate selective logging, the rapid rate of forest clearance is cause for considerable concern (6). In addition, this colourful pheasant is threatened by local hunting for food and also for sport (5).

Its listing on Appendix III of CITES by Malaysia limits and regulates international trade in this species from the country (3). The crested fireback also occurs in several protected areas, but is not protected by Indonesian law (2).
