The discovery of a male Malay Crestless Fireback (Raffles, 1822) (Aves: Galliformes: Phasianidae) at Ulu Sat Forest Reserve, Machang, Kelantan, Peninsular Malaysia
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: A study was conducted in the Ulu Sat Forest Reserve, Machang to record the presence of terrestrial vertebrate animals by using the camera trapping method from April 2023 until May 2023, and seven camera trap units (Reconyx Hyperfire) were used. During the study, a male Malay Crestless Fireback Lophura erythrophthalma was recorded. This discovery is considered something important and needs to be documented because this species has been classified as ‘Critically Endangered’ by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species. We believe that the record of this species can increase efforts in the management and conservation of the area.
