Welcome to Hornbill Research Foundation

Hornbill Research Foundation was set up following a project initiating research into the study of breeding biology and ecology of hornbills by the Faculty of Science, Mahidol University in 1978. Study was conducted initially in the monsoon evergreen forest at Khao Yai National Park in northeastern Thailand. In 1990, the research has been extended to Huai Kha Khaeng Wildlife Sanctuary in the west. To cope with the expansion of project and the maintenance of uninterrupted record-keeping, an increasing number of research workers were needed. This led to the creation of a foundation which H. R. H. Princess Mahachakri Sirithorn was graciously pleased to name and “The Hornbill Research Foundation” was set up on July 1993.
