Climate change has direct impact on the environment of habitats where different species live, and thereby influences the distribution, population and survival of the species. In this paper, based on the optimized MaxEnt model, the past, present and future patterns of potential habitats for Tragopan caboti under climate change are predicted. According to the results, precipitation, temperature and altitude are main influencing factors of their habitats. At present, the area of suitable habitats is reduced by 24.69% than the past. In the future in 2041-2060, under such conditions as Shared Socio-economic Pathways 3-7.0 and Shared Socio-economic Pathways5-8.5, the area of suitable habitats for Tragopan caboti will be 55.19% and 58.10% smaller than the present, respectively. Zhejiang, Jiangxi and Fujian are core suitable habitats for Tragopan caboti at present and in the future. The suitable habitats show a declining trend in area and the shift towards higher latitudes.
