"hornbill"

A kind soul in Phang Nga’s Ko Yao island came to the rescue of a hornbill trapped in a muddy swamp in a mangrove forest.

Thursday (February 13) was Love Hornbills Day, an annual commemoration of the birds’ value and the threat of extinction it faces.

Three men from Myanmar and one Thai have been arrested for allegedly violating forest laws in Kanchanaburi’s Sangkhla Buri district.

THE NATIONAL Parks, Wildlife, and Plant Conservation Department announced yesterday that it would develop a national plan for the management and conservation of hornbills.
