Lophura hatinhensis. Vietnamese pheasant.
Belgium. Antwerp Zoo.
Lophura hatinhensis is endemic to central Vietnam, where it was discovered in 1964. There are recent records from localities in Ha Tinh and Quang Binh provinces, most of which are within the Ke Go Nature Reserve. The continued existence of a population in the Net river watershed, where several birds were seen in 1994, may be in doubt because of extensive logging and other degradation of suitable habitat there. Its global population has been estimated at <2,500 individuals.
