Hornbill Watch is an online platform created specially to record public sightings of hornbills from anywhere in India. The idea is to encourage birders, nature enthusiasts, and photographers to share information on hornbill presence, behaviour, and conservation-related issues. The main objective is to generate baseline information using sight records and enable long-term monitoring of these species by encouraging citizen participation.

Hornbill Watch has an interactive web interface that allows a person to report hornbill detections, which could be a call, sighting of a live bird, or a report of a dead/hunted/captive bird from anywhere in India. A contributor enters sighting information and uploads photographs through an online form on the website. A photograph is not insisted upon, though it is desirable. The website has a format that also encourages users to document additional details of their hornbill sightings that include, bird numbers, any demographic information such as age or sex of the individuals, the behaviours they observed, and the approximate
location of their sighting—all without having to register or log in to the website. This makes it a quick, one-step process where sighting details can be uploaded immediately.

The data received are reviewed at the back-end. While observations that fall within the known pattern are approved quickly, editors verify the documentation associated with all exceptional records before approving them.
NCF Eastern Himalaya Program
NCF Eastern Himalaya program is primarily focused on various aspects of hornbill biology, frugivory and seed dispersal, tree phenology and ecological restoration in the tropical forests of North-eastern India, combined with community based conservation activities and nature education - in partnership with government and local community institutions.
