The Decline of the Sulawesi Tarictic Hornbill

The Sulawesi Tariktik Hornbill, native to Sulawesi, Indonesia, is experiencing a rapid population decline due to habitat destruction and hunting. Sylvester, a smaller hornbill, exemplifies the species' characteristic long, curved bills. These birds inhabit tropical lowlands, swamps, and forests, primarily consuming fruit and occasionally small animals. The destruction of their habitat, along with hunting for food and the pet trade, has made them increasingly rare.
