Creating homes for hornbills at Yao Noi Island
At Yao Noi Island, we work with students and the community and installed 21 artificial nests on Yao Noi Island. Of these, 11 were made of wood, while the other 10 used the hemp sack and resin design. This initiative provided more breeding spaces for hornbills and engaged the local community in conservation efforts, ensuring long-term awareness and support for these endangered birds.

About Yao Noi Island
Yao Noi Island is located between Krabi and Phuket in an area known as Phang Nga Bay. It has an area of 47.1575 square kilometers. The island’s main source of income is through production of rubber, seafood, palm oil, and coconut. Yao Noi houses over 250 mammals and 900 species of birds. The island is known for its “Ecotourism Association” as it conserves the environment and the health of the island’s ecosystem. Yao Noi campaigns to protect hornbills by creating nesting areas, and hornbills have become an important part of attracting tourists to the island.
