Rufous-necked hornbill  (Aceros nipalensis)

Found in Bhutan, Myanmar, China, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and northeast India, the rufous-necked hornbill has suffered a huge population decline, and is thought to be extinct in its historical range country, Nepal (1).

This hornbill species is found in mature, dense, evergreen and broadleaved forest, mainly in the hills up to altitudes of 1,800 metres. It searches for large trees in which to nest (1) (2).
