![]() At the same time, the pheasant population was severely affected, whether found at lower or higher altitudes, showing seasonal migration toward human settlements. The results revealed that the valleys where human interference is minimum had significantly higher encounter rates and densities of pheasants. The pheasant population was assessed using “Call count methods” and analyzed by DISTANCE software. Therefore, the current study focuses on pheasant abundance and emerging conservation issues. Recent human pressure continues to degrade their populations, and some pheasant species are already extinct. These are good indicators of environmental changes, and their presence determines the health and balance of the bio-network. ![]() Pheasants play a distinctive and significant role in high altitudinal ecosystems. Keywords: pheasant conservation population assessment Himalayas Hindukush The study concluded that proper conservation measures are required to protect pheasants in their Major infrastructure development projects, illegal hunting, and deforestation were identified as the major threats to the pheasant population. Survey from the nearest villages of the potential habitat, and particular attention was paid to val�leys where human pressures were found to be high. The threats were identified using a systematic questionnaire ![]() Was performed using the Ma圎nt model and showed that human activities overlap with the suit�able natural habitats of pheasants.

(iii) The maximum area of climate refugia was projected between the altitudinal range of 2000 to 4000 m and predicted to shift towards higher altitudes primarily > 3000 m in the future. (ii) Across the provinces in the NHP, the species were predicted to average lose around one-third (35%) in 2050 and one-half (47%) by 2070 of the current suitable habitat. Our results indicated that (i) under all three climate scenarios, species distribution was predicted to both reduce and shift towards higher altitudes. For this study, we used Maximum Entropy Model (Ma圎nt) to simulate the current (average for 1960–1990) and future (in 20) distributions of the species using three General Circulation Models (GCMs) and two climate change scenarios, i.e., RCP4.5 (moderate carbon emission scenario) and RCP8.5 (peak carbon emission scenario). Three Galliformes (e.g., Lophophorus impejanus, Pucrasia macrolopha, and Tragopan melanocephalus) are indicator species of the environment and currently distributed in NHP. Range shifts and range reduction in the forested landscapes will dramatically affect the distribution of forest-dwelling species, including the Galliformes (ground birds). The negative impacts of climate change on the northern highlands of Pakistan (NHP) could change the species composition.
