APNR Ground-Hornbill Project

The APNR Southern Ground-Hornbill Project, based in the Greater Kruger National Park in South Africa, works towards slowing and reversing the decline of the species while carrying out fundamental research on these iconic birds. For the past 22 years, researchers from the FitzPatrick Institute of African Ornithology have been investigating Southern Ground-Hornbills’ habitat-use, reproductive success, and behaviour. Our efforts focus on installing and monitoring artificial nests, and studying the birds’ reproduction and behaviour. 

On this channel we share some of our most amazing and interesting footage from the field and from camera traps which we use for our research.
