Loss of homes due to war and deforestation...
The Edward's Pheasant is a member of the pheasant family and lives in only a few parts of Vietnam. They have lost their habitat due to humans many times. First, the Vietnam War in the 1960s caused major damage to the forests. After that, the forests were cut down to make farmlands and lumber for wood. In a survey released in 1994, their population had dropped to less than 1,000.

Unable to return to their homes in the forests
Normally, deforestation starts in low areas accessible to humans. The Edward's Pheasant lives in low areas, 600 meters above sea level. This means their habitat is exactly where deforestation takes place. Edward's Pheasants are easy to breed, so they can often be seen in zoos. But even if the number of Edward's Pheasants increases, they cannot return to the wild unless we restore their forests.
