The Malayan peacock-pheasant is threatened by habitat loss due to deforestation for agriculture and logging, as well as hunting. While specific recovery programs are limited, conservation efforts focus on protecting its remaining forest habitat. Responsible safari tourism can help by supporting local communities and funding anti-poaching patrols, thereby providing an economic incentive to preserve the natural environment where these pheasants live.
The Malayan peacock-pheasant also known as crested peacock-pheasant or Malaysian peacock-pheasant, is a medium-sized pheasant of the galliform family Phasianidae. The closely related Bornean peacock-pheasant was formerly included here as a subspecies, but as understood today, P. malacense is monotypic.
