The existence of hornbills in the nature is closely related to the forest conservation. Cruising almost 100 kilometer squares, hornbills are effective seed dispersers in the forest.
The Indonesian Primate Day was again widely celebrated this January with its peak on 30 January 2019, "Stop Primate Poaching" being the theme. Celebrations took place nationwide in form of public campaign, education activities, and social media campaign.
PROFAUNA Indonesia's latest survey in the southern Malang area in December 2018 shows a decline in hornbill encounters by 60%. This is due to deforestation and forest degradation in the area.
