... was followed by the rhinoceros and bushy-crested hornbill, both with sightings in 54 sites. Accordingly, these three species had the highest number of records (Table 2). Although helmeted hornbill data was used in our IHL analysis, it is redacted here due to the sensitivity of the species to poaching and trade. ...Similar publications
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. ...
