among homegirls in the world helmet of
hornbill is the most unique species the
only hundred species who has a solid
cusp features has been recognized for
its ivory light quality
well we know that it just lives in the
old ancient Sunday forests of Indonesia
and Malaysia but it lives only in the
lowland areas of the of the forest and
it nests in the very big old trees it’s
the largest flying bird pretty much in
the whole of these forests and when you
have big birds like that they usually
have highly specific habitat
requirements these birds live on finx
they day they eat animals but when they
eat vegetables they only eat things and
then they nest in holes in big big old
trees these trees are going to be some
of the big old Giants of the forest and
these are the ones that get felled
first the helmets hornbill has a very
slow reproductive rate which is typical
of old birds living in old forests so
for example the female actually is walls
herself inside the nest hole with the
young for a hundred and sixty days
that’s almost half a year so this is a
very slow rate of reproduction only one
young a year at the very best so we know
the population is in steep decline and
where it used to be quite a common bird
now people visiting forests for
bird-watching or people biologists doing
monitoring they say it has become
extremely rare and this is in just five
years or maybe even just three years the
this extraordinary phenomenon in the
late 2012 I receive a photos of helmeted
hornbill had in the black market this is
shocking me since then I start my
investigation projects in 2013 in the
West Kalimantan my worries has been
proof at least 500 adult honey that
hornbills were killed each man in West
Kalimantan it sum up about six thousands
Helmut at home will kill each year
Dinn is suspected of being a major
kingpin in the illicit ivory trade so
you don’t make much money in the timber
business but you have one hundred and
sixty five thousand dollars in cash
