Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, holiday, or another special occasion, this makes a thoughtful and educational gift for anyone passionate about these remarkable birds. Explore the packages below to help contribute to the conservation of Southern Ground-hornbills today.
This is an excellent way for schools, businesses, and nature clubs to rally behind a sound conservation cause.
Help secure the future of a wild group of ground-hornbills by symbolically adopting a wild group.
By adopting a group, you help us perform annual nest checks, ensuring the viability of their nest for the next breeding season, which is important as they only breed when the conditions are perfect.
By symbolically adopting a foster group, you ensure the future stock of ground-hornbills being reared for release.
Foster groups are non-releasable ground-hornbills that are kept at our rearing facility to socialise the young releasable birds, to ensure that they learn all the natural behaviour needed to survive unaided in the wild.
Adopting a reintroduced group of ground-hornbills provides the much-needed funding to ensure the successful rewilding of hand-reared ground-hornbills.
By adopting a reintroduced group you support annual nest monitoring, building and supply of a soft release aviary, supplementary feeding during the dry season when there may not be enough natural food in the area and tracking equipment.
If you are adopting on behalf of a child, we will also include:
Kids T-shirt, a ground-hornbill plush toy and our comic book, Vusa the Ground-Hornbill Guardian
Want to save on shipping costs and maximise your donation?
Consider an instant group adoption, forgoing the shipped package of goods to donate the entirety of the cost to the Project. We will still send virtual copies of the certificate, photo and updates! Adoptions are a one-time donation, but you are welcome to adopt as many times as you’d like. Adoption packages are tax-deductible in South Africa and in the US through our US fundraising arm, African Hornbill Conservation Alliance.
