Community Stewardship

Homes for Hornbills believes that hornbill conservation can be sustained when the people who live alongside hornbills are part of the solution. On Yao Noi Island, we work with the local community to build a conservation program that the island's residents lead and sustain themselves.​​

Together, we:

Install artificial nests

Monitor nest occupancy, breeding activity, and feeding behavior

Educate the next generation through the Young Hornbill Guardians program.

Meet the Koh Yao Noi Community

Meet the community leaders, educators, and nest monitors who work alongside Homes for Hornbills to protect hornbills on Koh Yao Noi.
