Alan & Meg Kemp

Alan and Meg Kemp pose with Kingfisher, the first hand-reared second-hatched chick from the Kruger National Park to breed successfully in the wild. They initiated a long-term population study of hornbills in the Park in 1967, part of which led to the routine harvest, rearing and reintroduction of these redundant chicks by the MGHP. Alan did his PhD on hornbills in the Park, later a monograph on hornbills of the world, and the Kemp seniors continue to study and advise on this interesting Bucerotiformes order of birds.
