Homes for Hornbills is a 12-minute documentary that follows 15-year-old Yanin Tangkaravakoon as she turns a moment of inspiration into a conservation effort. Hornbills, known as “farmers of the forest,” are vital in dispersing seeds and regenerating ecosystems. Due to deforestation, Thailand’s forests are vanishing, and hornbills are losing the ancient trees they depend on to nest. When Yanin first hears a hornbill’s call, it becomes a call to action. With access to a polymer lab and support from the Thailand Hornbill Research Foundation, she helps develop a new artificial nest, which is then installed on Yao Noi Island, where nesting is in crisis. Narrated by Yanin herself, the film captures the challenges of conservation work. Not every nest is used, and progress is not immediate. What emerges is a portrait of patience, ingenuity, and hope. At its heart, Homes for Hornbills is a story of a young girl bridging science and storytelling to give endangered hornbills a second chance, and of a community showing that resilience can take root and grow even in a disappearing forest.
