in the pristine rainforests of Borneo
there’s a hidden battle between groups
of poachers and wildlife photographers
they both share the same mission finding
the helmeted hornbill an iconic bird
pushed to the very brink of extinction
due to poaching
[Music]
this group of poachers have been
operating since 2009 killing around a
hundred helmeted hornbills to sell on
the black market
but the birds are getting more and more
difficult to find they have to
the endangered helmeted hornbill which
is becoming extremely rare in borneo
rainforest is the only hornbill species
in the world whose cask is composed of
ivory light material but not everyone is
out to kill the helmeted window it also
has many protectors we are now driving
into one of the poorest reserve in sabah
there are many animals and wildlife that
found in this forest
especially many varieties of species of
hornbill pied hornbill black horn bill
reform bill rhinoceros hornbill and the
ultimate helmeted marvel but this is one
of the oldest rainforests and it’s one
of the largest forest reserve in sabah
and we hope to find what we’re targeting
we helmet
I see young given locus in Japanese
another city needle monkey then about
this young their avatar to dinner and
more flora brunoise hello palma de rehén
de tomate erskine young Gatos wat often
but when W 2 square of gravity’ focus it
to us
[Music]
what’s special about the helmeted
hornbill is it’s a large bird it has a
very long tail it has red neck it’s
different from the other smaller
hornbills and they are rare and they are
much rarer than the other hornbill and
it’s harder to find so if you find one
it’s it’s a great feeling you know so to
find one it’s not easy
you’ve got to go out in the jungle and
track them and listen to them
after three days hiking in Betim carajo
National Park
poachers Anto and Umberto’s couldn’t
find any helmeted hornbill

800 miles away on the Malaysian side of
Borneo Wildlife Photographer say David
NT searches for the helmeted hornbill to
promote its value alive here in this
area in the lowland forest when I walk
to the to the forest and I hear them I
get excited you know once you’re near
you you your feeling is different you
you want to get you want to capture the
sound and the behavior of the hornbill
it’s it’s a very exciting moment when
you when I see them my fears for the
helmet and hornbill since there are
poaching actively in Southeast Asia
particularly in Indonesia and I think
they are now in Malaysia so I’m worried
about our population here in Sabah
[Music]
the near extinction of the hornbill
depends on a network of smugglers one of
the biggest centers is potosi BAU where
a smuggler agreed to explain how the
trade operates if his identity was
obscured

[Music]
the babies are mostly male it’s done
these men are died a key man who live in
Sunggyu teak they are the custodians of
one of the helmeted hornbills last
remaining nesting areas ecology they
patrol the forest to prevent poachers
coming on to their land but with over
nine thousand hectares to protect the
task is far from easy
well yeah because I was like it sa da da
da da la Rock to Qatar the probability
that that denies to arrival sir
a little certain suka Puna McAlary to
literally knowing that is Karen some
p.m. block on one hunting
meanwhile in the village diet people
celebrate their spiritual connection
with the hornbills when they consider
messengers of the spirits and symbols of
virility a pig is sacrificed to appease
the gods and spirits and to receive
blessings from them the pig’s blood is
then offered to the gods as a sign of
respect after the ceremony the local
leaders saw the footage of the smuggler
their deep knowledge of the helmeted
hornbills behavior underscored why
poaching was the primary cause for this
birds extinction in forest we’re trying
to look for this helmet on bill finally
at midday today we heard a call again
this is the fourth day we heard the call
and suddenly from nowhere you know right
across the river
it just went over our head
and perch on the big tree when they
finally flew across my head or something
yeah yeah and I was clicking away you
know like terror and it’s the feeling of
getting the shot is fantastic because
it’s hard work you know you’re trying to
look for it for days we’re trying to
listen and track in the forest so it’s
incredibly amazing I’m very pleased and
exhausted
