  1. I agree if Bornean Crestless Fireback uplisted to Endangered. I have traveled to Kalimantan quite often in last decades. It is look like Firebacks and other phasianidae are threats by loss of habitats and hunting (Iqbal et al. 2020). During Cov19 pandemic, it is look like hunting of Phasianidae increase, and Bornean Crestless Fireback could be one of phasianid species that hunted for food.
