Good News: How Predators Turned Protectors, Kindness at an Altitude, A Library for Kids by Kids, and More
Launched in 2012, the Hornbill Nest Adoption Programme was created after researchers found birds competing for shrinking breeding spaces. As of 2025, the programme has successfully fledged 238 hornbill chicks and facilitated the planting of up to 10,000 saplings annually since 2014 to restore degraded habitats. Central to this effort is the Nyishi tribe—once hunters of hornbills for ceremonial headgear—many of whom now serve as nest protectors.
