    The Visayan hornbill is an endangered bird species found on two Philippine islands, with a population of only around 1,800 individuals. It faces threats of hunting and habitat loss due to deforestation. Preserving this seed-dispersing species helps maintain ecological balance and prevents disease transmission, and conservation efforts include breeding programs and establishing nature reserves.

    Visayan Hornbill (Penelopides panini)

    The Visayan hornbill, also called the Penelopides panini, is a hornbill found in lowland and foothill
    forests on Panay and Negros islands. It is currently an endangered animal. The male hornbill has
    pale underparts and heads, while the female is entirely black. Its voice is a short, medium-pitched
    honk, akin to that of a squeaky toy.

    It is an endangered species, with the total population of the animal being around 1,800 individuals.
    Its heavy decline in population is caused by hunting and loss of habitat due to deforestation, and it
    has been assessed as Endangered since 2000.

    The preservation of this animal will keep the ecological balance of our ecosystem stable, and will
    prevent the transmission of zoonotic diseases. They also serve as seed dispersers.

    We can protect these species by breeding them in captivity, then continually releasing more
    specimens into the wild. However, we could also have nature reserves for the Visayan hornbill to
    live in.
