Works on all species, research advances/discoveries.

Dr. K.H. Amitha Bachan initiated the Kadar Indigenous community based Hornbill Nest Tree Monitoring in Vazhachal part of Western Ghats for the first time in the region in 2005. This has been continuing as long-term community based Hornbill, old growth tree, forest monitoring programme ensuring conservations of the one of the stronghold of all the south Indian hornbill species in India. Presently working on ecological monitoring, hornbill dispersed endemic trees and ecorestoration of degraded riparian and hornbill habitats.

I used to work extensively on ecology of rufous-necked hornbill and population and status of hornbills in Thailand with Dr.Pilai Poonswad. Now under WCS I'm working on the protection of endangered wildlife and its habitat in the Western Forest Complex where 6 species of hornbills occur.

Southern Ground Hornbill - Research and Conservation - Nest location, monitoring, capture, banding and tracking of birds, harvest of 2nd chicks.

Aparajita leads NCF’s Eastern Himalaya programme, under which research and community-based conservation with hornbills as a flagship have been carried out for 20 years. She completed her PhD on hornbill biology and their role in seed dispersal in 2000. For the last 18 years, she and her team has been engaged in hornbill research and conservation with communities in Arunachal Pradesh and since 2013, in other parts of north-east India. A long-term hornbill nest and roost monitoring project is on since 2003. A Hornbill Nest Adoption Program set up in 2011 protects hornbill nests in forests outside a Protected Area, in partnership with local people and the Forest Department.

I have been working on four species of Hornbill- Great hornbill, Wreathed hornbill, Rufous-necked hornbill and Oriental Pied hornbill. Currently I am working on two aspects: 1. Looking at the hornbill distribution and abundance in the north Bengal region of India, which is part of the eastern Himalayan landscape. 2. Systematic documentation of the breeding biology of Rufous-necked Hornbill and Great Hornbill. Our aim is to establish a long-term conservation initiatives with the local community and the forest department to protect them from the anthropogenic threats posed in this region. I am a trained ecologist, as I did my post-graduation in Ecology and Environmental sciences, with special focus on Ornithology and Chemical ecology.

While some amount of focus has been placed on Helmeted Hornbills, we work on all species in trade, recording any hornbills that emerge in trade to understand scale and trend dynamics to improve conservation action. We also work to support law enforcement actions in Southeast Asia, policy and advocacy initiatives, training, and as well as communications and awareness initiatives across various target audiences that includes governments, non-governments and the private sector.

The hornbill species we are actively supporting is the Helmeted Hornbill (HH). I am also a member of the HHWG and participated in the formation of the action plan held in Kuching. The current project we are supporting on HH includes working on reduction in illegal trade, demand reduction, forest protection and active community engagement. All of our current projects are in Indonesia both in Sumatra and West Kalimantan.

We have also focused on its breeding biology, distribution and cultural relevance to local communities that share the same space with the species. We are currently working at establishing a nation population. Our areas of expertise entail field work (research) monitoring, information dissemination through social sciences to incorporate communities and other stakeholder into not just hornbill conservation, but biodiversity at large.

Conservation of the Palawan Hornbill Anthracoceros marchei and other cavity-nesting birds. Palawan Hornbills and other cavity nesters have benefited from the patrolling and nest-protection schemes of the Philippine Cockatoo Conservation Program of Katala Foundation since almost twenty years. Recently, activities to specifically improve the conservation status of the Palawan Hornbills have been initiated. Monitoring and nest-protection protocols are being improved, among others, employing SMART-patrolling. Artificial nestboxes for hornbills will be designed and field-tested, making use of the extensive experience in this field in Singapore. Since the species is regularly poached in unprotected areas, procedures for rescue and rehabilitation will be developed and implemented. The species is integrated in existing conservation education efforts, highlighting its importance as seed disperser, and therefore in the regeneration and maintenance of forest ecosystems in Palawan. Peter Widmann in his role as co-director of Katala Foundation’s Philippine Cockatoo Conservation Program is in charge of technical aspects of conservation of cavity nesting birds. Hornbill species he is working with include the Palawan Hornbill, for which he is a contributor to Birdlife International for the IUCN red list assessments, but also Southern Rufous and Mindanao Hornbill in a conservation site in the southern Philippines.
