Mother Africa is delighted to announce we are working in conjunction with the Mabula Ground Hornbill Conservation Project. This organisation is spearheading the conservation program of the southern Ground Hornbill in South Africa and our aim is to establish and mirror their work in Zimbabwe. Mother Africa volunteers will begin this project through the construction of nesting boxes, and by supplying these to landowners.
An awareness campaign around the vulnerable status of the ground hornbill will be part and parcel of this initiative. Once this aspect is established we hope to extend our program to mirror that of the Mabula Ground Hornbill Conservation group, from hand rearing chicks to research, focusing on diet and distribution as well as much more. It's an exciting and hope filled time for the Southern Ground Hornbill! |
