This hornbill’s head is not an ornament. Sign if you agree.

A beautiful scenic village, a dancing girl, a religious symbol, a face.

Those are just a few examples of the many things carved into the headgear of the mercilessly hunted helmeted hornbill.

The resurgence of an old, grim fashion has seen people paying to have the heads and helmets ripped from the bird's body, carved into some gruesome ornament and paraded on their mantlepiece.

This nauseating trend is slicing its way through their population and is sending it spiralling into one of the fastest declines of any species.

This needs to end. Now.

Add your name to demand authorities do not let this trend continue. Sign if you agree that those criminals involved should be prosecuted, and these birds should be allowed a future alive.
