Appendix 3<br />

Captive Populations of <strong>Pheasants</strong><br />

Although records of captive populations are maintained<br />

through several sources, the figures below represent current<br />

best estimates of global captive populations, including<br />

collections in public <strong>and</strong> private ownership, from both<br />

published <strong>and</strong> unpublished sources. They were compiled<br />

by Han Assink, Alain Hennache, Gary Robbins, Simon<br />

Tonge, <strong>and</strong> Roger Wilkinson. See also Sheppard <strong>and</strong><br />

Bruning (1999).<br />
