A thread on how climate change may be affecting hornbill breeding. For almost 22 years, we have monitored hornbill breeding and for 17 years, the patterns in ripe fruit availability in the Pakke Tiger Reserve. Image In 2017, we first noted early breeding in most of the active hornbill nests we monitored of the Great and Wreathed hornbill. Prior to that, nesting initiation (with female entry into nest cavity) occurred usually from 2nd week to last week of March. Median date being 15 March. Image

As part of our ecological restoration project in the Pakke landscape since 2014, we have raised seedlings of 75 native tree species. Among these, we have grown and planted two of the critically endangered (IUCN status) tree species. Vatica lanceifolia is an important non-timber forest produce and is used for firewood and charcoal-making, while the bark is used as incense. Large scale illegal cutting and felling for firewood is a key threat to the survival of this species.

Sapria himalayana - a rare root parasite in Namdapha TR, Arunachal Pradesh. Earlier, it was known only from Namdapha within India, but in recent years,it has been found in a few other sites in Arunachal.
#ArunachalPradesh #rootparasites Its pollination and seed dispersal systems remains unstudied - the fruiting bodies are believed to be dispersed by rodents - so many mysteries in the rainforests that we still need to find out..

This is a nice article otherwise, and always good to see this area being covered in the news, but it does gets some facts wrong.

New IAF ‘airport’ in Arunachal provides an alternative to walking 157 km thehindu.com/news/national/…. Sharing some thoughts/experiences from my time spent there years ago. This will be a long thread:) @mdmadhusudan @prashanthns
