Malaysia is home to ten hornbill species, who play vital roles in preserving the delicate balance of our natural ecosystems. But these beautiful and iconic birds face threats such as habitat loss, poaching, and also suffer from the effects of climate change. We explore how conservation efforts - driven by science and community involvement - are giving hornbills a fighting chance in Malaysia’s rainforests. Joining us are wildlife researcher Dr. Ravinder Kaur (Wildlife Researcher, CoFounder, xploregaia, Scientific Director, GAIA and a lecturer at Sunway University) and Dr. Hjh Yatela Zainal Abidin (CEO, Sime Darby Foundation) to share insights into the challenges and triumphs of conserving these magnificent creatures, the vital role hornbills play in the ecosystem, and the groundbreaking efforts being made to protect their habitats. We also discuss the inaugural National Hornbill Day, which is set to be celebrated on the 10th of November 2024.
