Hornvogel.de was created in collaboration of Prof. Dr. Eberhard Curio, Ruhr University Bochum, Christina Henke and Guido Warhof. The search engine www.hornvogel.de was developed to directly support the Philippine Endemic Species Project (www.pescp.org).
The search engine is powered and supported by google. With attracting high numbers of users, it is worthwhile for sponsors to financially support the project hornvogel.de.
The raised funds go directly (100%) towards a species conservation programme to save the
writhed-billed hornbill (Aceros waldeni).
You can help the hornbill and the primary lowland rainforest on the Philippine Island of Panay, by installing www.hornvogel as your default search engine. It is easy to set up:
Internet Explorer: click on Tools, then click on Options and register http://www.hornvogel.de as ‘home’.
PESCP supports the conservation of extremely endangered animal species. The hornbill is essential for the rainforest’s survival through its role as a seed disperser. Those who help protect the Hornbill, help saving the rainforest.
Recent news show the success of PESCP’s work. In 2007, 700 nests of writhed-billed hornbills were discovered and they are currently being guarded with the support of the local public. Moreover, PESCP rescues and releases confiscated highly endangered species. PESCP employees also inform the local public about possibilities of protecting their environment by using new farming methods to stop the illegal poaching of animals and the illegal logging of the primary lowland rainforest. New farming methods result in the amelioration of the local public’s living standards and help save the pristine environment they live in. PESCP is a project sponsored by the Conservation Biology Unit at the Ruhr University Bochum in cooperation with the Frankfurt Zoological Society and the Nature Protection Authority of the Philippine government (DENR).
