The red serow (Capricornis rubidus), also called the Burmese red serow,IUCN states that this species is recorded with certainty only from Myanmar, in Kachin State, and that records in India refer to the Himalayan serow.[2]Serow in South and Southeast Asia are threatened by habitat destruction, poaching, and disease transmission from domestic livestock. Myanmar and India face severe poaching issues despite legal protections.[6]
In December 2023, a red serow was found in Sunamganj District of Sylhet Forest Division in north-eastern Bangladesh.[7]
