With land use change rapidly increasing in Asia, conservation prioritisation has emerged as an important tool in identifying critical landscapes for biodiversity to safeguard them from human pressures. In Peninsular Malaysia, the Malaysian Nature Society (MNS/BirdLife in Malaysia) developed a set of Criteria to identify Important Hornbill Landscape...

... is Malaysia's largest state and is located on Borneo (Fig. 1). It is a tropical region with an equatorial climate and experiences a wet season from November to February due to the northeast monsoon. Many types of forests are found here, including the most extensive hill mixed Dipterocarp forest (Osman et. al, 2014). Eight species of hornbills reside here, the black (Anthracoceros malayanus), ...

... and this significantly improved the dataset for Ravenscourt FMU, which we identified as a higher priority IHL. Further collaborations would be essential for hornbill conservation prioritisation in Sarawak. They would also help close a major gap towards the identification of priority sites for threatened hornbills like the helmeted hornbill (Jain et. al, ...

To build a distribution model for Haemadipsa rjukjuana, we collected current occurrences of the species on Heuksando with adjacent islands. Based on current locations and 19 climate variables with DEM (digital elevation model), we built the MaxEnt (maximum entropy) species distribution model for H. rjukjuana in the islands. Then, we applied the Max...

... Protecting Helmeted Hornbills inside and outside protected areas will continue to be challenging and must rely on community-based conservation initiatives and incentive-based informer networks to curtail illegal trade in hornbills (Poonswad et al., 2013a(Poonswad et al., , 2005. Community-based conservation initiatives are vital since people residing close to the protected areas will be crucial allies in Helmeted Hornbill conservation (Wee et al., 2024). While well-managed large protected areas are critical for Helmeted Hornbill conservation, small protected areas, like Bala and Budo Mountain, will continue to play a vital role in harbouring small, albeit critical populations of hornbills. ...
... The role of local communities as para taxonomists, in raising local conservation awareness, contributing to biodiversity policies, controlling illegal wildlife harvest, and monitoring biodiversity is acknowledged (Danielsen et al., 2011(Danielsen et al., , 2005Sheil and Lawrence, 2004;Wee et al., 2024). In our study, local community members collected the hornbill abundance data in Budo. ...
