MNS Hornbill volunteer programme 2012


MNS Hornbill Volunteer programme for 2012 is back and running for the 5th year!! MNS initiated the first Hornbill Volunteer Programme in 2008 to provide the public with an opportunity to support MNS’ conservation work in monitoring the Plain-pouched Hornbill (PPHB) movements.

Since its launch in 2008, a total of 191 volunteers have come forward to learn about hornbill, science and conservation by participating in real scientific studies. During the programme volunteers will conduct daily flight census data. These data will be stored and analysed to learn more about the hornbill populations and behavior.  This will contribute to the national conservation effort in collecting data.

The Programme is running from the 3rd of August 2012 and run till the 28th September 2012.
