On this Earth Day, Dabchick Wildlife Reserve is proud to announce the release of its first southern ground hornbill (๐ฝ๐ช๐๐ค๐ง๐ซ๐ช๐จ ๐ก๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ง๐) - a major step in a long-anticipated rewilding initiative in partnership with the Mabula Ground Hornbill Project.
Following years of consultation and careful planning, Dabchick has adopted a small group of suitable birds, with the aim of establishing a new, free-ranging population in the Alma valley.
๐กThis complements rewilding efforts on surrounding conservancies, contributing to a broader metapopulation in the region.

Before the release, engaging with the local farming community was essential. Southern ground hornbills are not always well received, and their survival can be compromised by lead poisoning from scavenging on hunting remains. To address this, the AMES Foundation - Dabchickโs conservation partner - hosted an information session at the local farmersโ hall. Presentations by Dr Lucy Kemp and Justin Henry (BirdLife South Africa) highlighted the dangers of lead in ecosystems and offered practical alternatives, including lead-free ammunition sourced locally. The meeting drew strong interest and positive engagement.
๐กKey to the projectโs success was hands-on training for the Dabchick team - Mpilo Mhalanga, Erika Bezuidenhout, and Klaas Maluleke - at the Mabula centre near Loskop Dam. The team learned best practices for managing and caring for hornbills with minimal human contact to maintain their wild instincts. A holding pen was constructed to Mabulaโs specifications, offering a transitional space before full release.
In November 2024, three birds - a mature male, an adult female, and a younger helper - arrived at Dabchick. The birds have settled well and will be released in stages to ensure gradual acclimatisation to their new environment. Post-release monitoring will track their movements and wellbeing.
We extend our sincere thanks to the Mabula Ground Hornbill Project, the AMES Foundation, and all involved in this collaborative effort. With dedication and continued support, we look forward to these iconic birds thriving once again in the wild landscapes of the Alma valley.

Least Concern
Also known as the Golden Bishop, the Yellow-crowned Bishop is a small, striking weaver found across sub-Saharan Africa, from Senegal and Ethiopia to South Africa. It has also been introduced to parts of southern Europe, Japan, Jamaica, and Puerto Rico.
๐๐๐๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐๐ข๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง
Measuring 10โ11 cm and weighing 11โ20 g, the Yellow-crowned Bishop is a compact bird with a very short tail.
Breeding males are unmistakable, with a golden-yellow crown, nape, back, and rump. Their face, throat, and belly are black, set off by a bold yellow breastband tinged with chestnut. They have dark brown wings and tails, with paler feather edges.
Nonbreeding males and females are streaky brown with darker central streaks, a white eyebrow, and a whitish throat and bellyโsimilar in appearance to a sparrow. Juveniles resemble females but have broader buffy feather edges before their first moult.

The Yellow-crowned Bishop thrives in wetland areas with tall grass, making it a reliable indicator of healthy ecosystems. Though native to Africa, it has successfully established populations in Iberia, Jamaica, and Puerto Rico.

๐กOn 20 December 2013 at the 68th Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), March 3 was declared United Nations World Wildlife Day (WWD). This day holds significance as the day that the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) was signed in 1973. The UNGA Resolution designated the CITES Secretariat as the facilitator for the global observance of this special day for wildlife on the UN calendar.
๐ UN World Wildlife Day has now become the global annual event dedicated to wildlife.
United Nations United Nations Development Programme - UNDP
๐กPeople everywhere rely on wildlife and biodiversity-based resources to meet our needs - from food, to fuel, medicines, housing, and clothing. For us to enjoy the benefits and the beauty that nature brings us and our planet, people have been working together to make sure ecosystems are able to thrive and plant and animal species are able to exist for future generations. So, letโs celebrate wildlife and the important conservation work being done around the world!

Global: Vulnerable
Regional: Endangered
The southern ground hornbill (๐ฝ๐ช๐๐ค๐ง๐ซ๐ช๐จ ๐ก๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ง๐) has a wide distribution across Africa south of the equator.
โผ๏ธIt is Globally Listed as Vulnerable (VU). In South Africa (RSA) however, its population is considered to be declining. Its distribution is now largely limited to conservation areas, so it was therefore Regionally Listed as EN in 2015. A regional estimate for RSA in 2008 estimated a population of around 1 400 individuals.
It is a unique and endangered bird species which has disappeared from 70% of its former range in South Africa, and the remaining populations are mostly only found in the Kruger National Park and various other conservation areas.
Although these large-bodied birds can fly, they have evolved a terrestrial habit to exploit a more carnivorous diet. Their long legs, short tails and short toes allow them to walk smoothly, rather than hop like other hornbills.
โผ๏ธGround hornbill numbers have been drastically affected by human expansion, overgrazing and loss of trees, as well as poisoning by agricultural poisons and from lead contained in bullets.
The male birds are territorial and tend to smash windows when they see themselves reflected and are therefore persecuted by humans.
They are co-operative breeders with the group composed of one dominant male and one mature female bird, assisted by non-breeding helpers. The birds nest in large trees where these are available, or on rock faces or in holes in earth banks.

Mabula Ground Hornbill Project
The conservation efforts of the ground hornbill which have been initiated by the Mabula Ground Hornbill group are based on the observation of scientists Alan and Meg Kemp, who spent years studying the breeding and social behaviour of the birds. The Kemps observed that although the female laid and incubated two eggs, only one of the hatching chicks was fed, as the parents favour the stronger one for survival. They found that if the second unhatched egg was removed when there was one strong hatchling present, they could artificially incubate this egg and successfully raise the hatchling to adulthood.
๐กThe Mabula Ground Hornbill Project was initiated by the Kempโs daughter, Dr Lucy Kemp, who, even as a child, had been involved in the raising of hornbill chicks. Supported by various funders, she and her team have harvested eggs from the wild in various parts of southern Africa, raising the chicks and socialising the birds in groups in โbush schoolsโ in which the birds learn from each other how to forage in the wild. Breeding groups consist of a male and female, plus a few female helpers who assist them with feeding the chicks.
Over the years the Mabula project has accumulated prodigious knowledge and experience on the captive breeding of birds. Apart from the technicalities of feeding the hatchlings and chicks, they have done a lot of research on the feasibility of using artificial nests, given that suitable large trees have disappeared from many areas. After extensive trial and error, they hit on the right formula with regard to size and materials. These nests can be used at rewilding sites to encourage birds to breed.

African Pangolin Working Group
The pangolin, a unique and endangered mammal, is typically regarded as the highlight of any safari. Pangolins are the only animals on the planet completely covered in protective scales, which they employ to defend themselves by curling into a tight ball when threatened.
Their diet is primarily composed of ants and termites, which they dig up with their powerful claws.
โผ๏ธUnfortunately, these fascinating species are frequently trafficked for their scales, which are highly valued in Asian traditional medicine markets. As a result, pangolins are now considered one of the world's most endangered animals.
