WHEN two pairs of great hornbills in Batu Rakit, Terengganu lost their vital nesting trees, a team of intrepid conservationists built artificial nests in the shape of boxes for them to continue breeding.

Led by Dr Ravinder Kaur, a conservationist specialising in hornbills, the team completed its mission to instal two nest boxes on durian trees – the first such effort in Peninsular Malaysia.
