White-crowned hornbill  (Aceros comatus)

Threats

The white-crowned hornbill has a large range, but is generally uncommon throughout (4). The destruction of forest habitat is likely to have impacted this species in the past, and will continue to do so in the future (2). However, the white-crowned hornbill can survive at higher elevations where the destruction of forests is not so severe, and thus it is not yet considered to be globally threatened (6),

Conservation

The white-crowned hornbill is listed on Appendix II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES), which means that any trade in this species should be tightly controlled (3). It also occurs within a number of protected areas across its range (4), but at present there are no known specific conservation actions in place for this bird.
