Artificial nests, real conservation results
FoundationNatureSafariOne of the threats facing the iconic ground hornbill is a lack of suitable nesting sites. Fortunately, they adapt well to artificial nests, and many of the ground hornbills you might see on safari at Royal Malewane began life in one of these specially designed bird boxes. The APNR Ground Hornbill team are busy installing more of these ingenious nests as part of a great conservation success story.
