I am contacting to you on behalf of CNCZ (Children and Nature
Conservation Zimbabwe Trust). The CNCZ is a non-profit making organisation which
promotes awareness and conservation of biological and cultural diversity through
ecosystem protection. CNCZ also conducts wildlife research and provides direct
financial benefits for conservation through responsible
eco-tourism.
An important part of CNCZ’s work is their Southern Hornbill
Research. The projects aims are:
• To gain scientific understanding of the environmental
conditions that promote the survival and successful reproduction of ground
hornbills as well as identifying key strongholds of this species and help
prevent further habitat degradation.
• To monitor the populations and breeding performance of
ground hornbill groups identified.
• To study the density, mean group size, territory and home
range size.
• To create awareness through school workshops and involve
participation of the local people.
• Publication of material
• To gradually empower and uplift the local
people.
Please see the link below that gives more in-depth
information on this wonderful bird.
Many Thanks
Jenn Slaymaker
