Hornbills - Nest - Habitat
Monitoring
This is our simple initiative for longterm monitoring of hornbills and the precious rainforest habitat with your participation. This is an augumentation of our a decade long Kadar ethnic community based hornbill and hornbill nest tree monitoring programme in the Anamalai (vazhachal) part of southern western ghats kerala. You can be a part of this through adding your observations and can contribute to longterm monitoring of dynamics of our precious rainforest habitat, hornbills and their nesting trees. What you need is a photograph, may be a vague date stamped photo taken with your mobile or your precious SLR, of a Hornbill, a Hornbill nesting tree, any important tree and your observation on any threat to the forest, biodiversity and ethnic community.
