Distribution and Population
The animal’s population is small and is believed to be decreasing at a rapid rate. Blyth’s Tragopan is located in many different areas, including Bhutan through north-east India, north Myanmar to south-east Tibet, and also China. The total population is estimated to be about 2,500 to 9,999 birds. This estimate is a very small number compared to some of its relative birds.
