Hornbills are called Farmers of the forests, as they are fruigivorous (eats fruit mostly). This video shows the intimate bonding between the pair and their care in raising young ones. A must watch video to take lessons on couple goals and parenting. 2+
Anything beautiful in nature has its own threat. Same applies to Hornbills. They were badly hunted for their bills. Even today, if not at Pakke, this poaching is threatening their existence. World market demands are driving these beautiful endangered species towards extinction 3+
Just like Nagaland's Amur Falcon, this is one other community driven species recovery. The efforts made by Forest Dept, locals and institutions is tremendous. Not to forget the hard terrain and the difficulties to sail through dense forests to keep a watch on these birds. 4+
Such is the importance of one species to maintain the health of a forest, and forest is the abode of million of species. Imagine how important it is to protect such forests and its biodiversity. Kudos to the partnership efforts at Pakke. Credits included in d end video. Source-YT
