The Nahor provides dense canopy cover and perfect for shelter. For the next few days the parents will be busy feeding the chick, guarding and taking him/her around the forested landscape.

A Brown hornbill chick trying to break free from the nest, after being born in a state of incarceration. The chick hesitant initially but finally took a leap of faith and its first flight. Flew off to a nearby Mesua ferrea (Nahor) tree, under the watchful eyes of his/her father.

The latest volume of Hornbill Natural History and Conservation is now out! https://t.co/z6e8LKcofX. Check out interesting articles on Asian & African hornbills. HNHC is a Diamond Open Access journal. @iucn_hornbills @AparajitaDatta4 @ground_hornbill @Cshepherd7R @BhaskarJ_Bora

Hornbills are among few birds believed to be monogamous. Sharing a study on the cooperatively breeding White-throated Brown Hornbill. Through an act of cooperation, juvenile and sub-adult birds aid the breeding male in food provisioning and act as sentinels to protect nests.

Please #SaveLehAirport
I'm a great admirer of your vision of #CarbonNeutralLadakh & #CarbonNeutralIndia but the #LehAirport is going 180° backwards...
We can act now or regret later!

@AyanSADHU Heartiest congratulations Ayan!

@mrinaltalukdar8 I hope now policy makers will take climate change a bit seriously. Although irreparable damage has been done.

NCF is turning 25 soon and we are celebrating with a series of talks on nature and society. We’ll share the schedule soon—come back here for details. A huge thank you for being a part of our journey. Hope you can join us! #25yearsofconservation #talks #ecology #natureandsociety

@AparajitaDatta4 I feel nowadays more than empathy maybe some wildlife biologists or conservationists or teachers alike have vested interests rather than passion. Vested interets maybe fame and recognition in the domain.

Humans as deep-time predators - new study convincingly shows that humans have been active #megafauna hunters for ca 2 million years, with implications for human #evolution and early African megafauna losses #hunting #humandiet #humanevolution #extinction #Archaeology

Forest departmental programmes, contractors and alike getting involved with rewilding in Assam should be mindful and take serious scientific measures while implementing such programmes!

Why frenzied tree planting is no answer to ecological restoration https://t.co/fPQRnXPKf9

[Bhaskar @BhaskarJ_Bora]

@ParimalSuklaba1 Sir, plantation of native plant species would be best for the purpose. And I would urge the forest department not to plant any exotic tree species.

[Bhaskar @BhaskarJ_Bora]

@ParimalSuklaba1 Local youths belonging to indigenous communities from forest fringes are in need of alternative livelihood options, as dependency on forest resources was an age-old tradition. Employing them under community engagement schemes will aid in successful conservation.

[Bhaskar @BhaskarJ_Bora]

@ParimalSuklaba1 Sir, the Upper Dihing East Block RF comprising of 132 https://t.co/xSZUGwP55G of forests still has some of the best primary forest patches in Digboi Division especially areas near Pawoi TE, Khamon Pathar and Digboi Oil fields.

[Bhaskar @BhaskarJ_Bora]

@ParimalSuklaba1 Sir, there is rampant hunting indiscriminate felling of trees happening in the Dihing Patkai National Park. We believe your governance can abate the current destruction otherwise the future of the rainforest is futile.
