Why it matters
The black-casqued hornbill is a striking inhabitant of the West and Central African rainforests, easily identified by the prominent, dark casque atop its bill. Its broad wings and rounded tail facilitate a heavy, undulating flight pattern that is a signature of its movement through the dense forest canopy. Due to their reliance on undisturbed primary forests for nesting, these birds serve as a vital indicator of the overall ecological health of their habitat.
