Difficult not to lean towards supporting the GNT status, given the level of snaring and forest loss. In Cambodia, the recent camtrap survey in Prey Lang WS (Auda 2023) report as follows : “During this camera trap survey, the Siamese fireback had the highest encounter rate among the bird species. The population estimate for Siamese fireback populations in Prey Lang is 593 individuals (95% CI 145–1,163), equivalent to a density of 0.24 individual per km² (95% CI 0.06–0.48).” This density level is frightenly low when compared to that reported from Thailand of 5.6 birds/km2, indicating a much depleted population. There is probably no area in Cambodia where density approaches those noted in Thailand!!
Many thanks to everyone who has contributed to this discussion. We greatly appreciate the time and effort invested in commenting. The window for consultation is now closed and we are unable to accept any more comments until 25 April 2025. We will now analyse and interpret the information, and we will post a preliminary decision on this species’ Red List category on this page on 25 April 2025, when discussions will re-open.
Based on available information, our preliminary proposal for the 2025 Red List would be to adopt the proposed classification outlined in the initial forum discussion.
There is now a period for further comments until the final deadline on 4 May 2025, after which the recommended categorisations will be put forward to IUCN.
The final 2025 Red List categories will be published on the BirdLife and IUCN websites in October 2025, following further checking of information relevant to the assessments by both BirdLife and IUCN.

Recommended categorisation to be put forward to IUCN
The final categorisation for this species has not changed. Siamese Fireback is recommended to be listed as Near Threatened, approaching thresholds under Criteria A2cd+3cd+4cd.
