Habitat:
It appears to occupy a range of forest types from montane, dipterocarp-dominated evergreen and semi-evergreen forest, including logged secondary forest and thorny bamboo brakes (N. Brickle in litt. 2004). It is found in both damp and dry areas, from sea-level up to at least 1,500 m.
Range:
Polyplectron germaini is endemic to southern Indochina, where it is known only from south Annam and Cochinchina, Viet Nam, and southern and eastern Mondulkiri province and Ratanakiri province, Cambodia (N. Brickle in litt. 2004). The largest known populations are found in tracts of forest retained within protected areas (J. Eames in litt. 2004, N. Tran Vy in litt. 2004, T. Evans in litt. 2005).
Conservation:
Conservation Actions Underway
CITES Appendix II. Populations survive in several protected areas in both Viet Nam and Cambodia (Savini et al. 2021, UNEP-WCMC and IUCN 2023). Within Europe, 32 males, 33 females and 3 unsexed young were reported in 2021 among World Pheasant Association members across seven countries (J. Corder in litt. 2022); there is, however, no known coordinated conservation breeding programme for these species.Conservation Actions Proposed
There is an urgent need to more accurately quantify the species' population size as well as its occurrence in smaller forest fragments. Enshrining all suitable habitat in protected areas is critical as well as more robust enforcement of shooting and snaring.
