Cartoons show fascinating life, shocking hardships of Helmeted Hornbill
By BirdLife International
With a touch of comedy, India-based cartoonist Rohan Chakravarty uses his illustrations to give a view of the world through a bird’s eyes and present thought-provoking conservation messages. Commissioned by the IUCN Hornbill Specialist Group, these cartoons explore the fascinating habits and shocking hardships of the Helmeted Hornbill Rhinoplax vigil - a Critically Endangered species.
The cartoons are available in multiple languages (Bahasa Indonesia, Bahasa Melayu, Burmese and Chinese) and can be made available upon request for awareness-raising in coutries affected by these issues.
