The protection work initiated then fell in two areas. One was the passage of a law prohibiting the birds 'capture or killing. The other was the setting up of a breeding station at a reservoir in Tainan County. After breeding, the pheasants were released in a nature sanctuary at Jade Mountain National Park.
在國內發起的保護工作又可分為兩方面：一是通過狩獵法，嚴格禁止捕捉或殺害帝雉；另一方面，在台南縣烏山頭水庫西北側設置了「台灣特有雉類復育中心」繁殖帝雉，然後在玉山國家公園自然保護區裡放養。
