The earlier references of occurrence of the hairy-fronted muntjac "Muntiacus crinifrons" in Arunachal Pradesh are actually Gongshan muntjakc. More recently, genetic studies have shown it to be very closely related to the hairy-fronted muntjac, possibly close enough to be considered the same species despite different coloration, though this position is disputed. Ongoing hunting is a major threat to its survival. While the population cannot be accurately
Reeves's muntjac a typhoon. A muntjac eradication effort on Izu Ōshima was undertaken in 2007–2014 but failed, and as of 2014, at least 11,000 individuals exist and have a yearly population growth rate of 15%. This failure has been blamed on inadequate survey methods that underestimated the population of the nocturnal species. In Hong Kong, Reeve's muntjac is a protected species under the Wild Animals Protection Ordinance Cap 170. It is listed as Least Concern by the IUCN due to being generally common and widespread. The tanned skin of Reeves's muntjac is notable for its softness and is occasionally used in beauty-care
