Project 4 - Billboard For project 4 we are working with a billboard format.  Our topics we were to choose from were organizations that the Tulsa Zoo works with.  They are: (A) Asian Elephant Conservation, (B) The Scarlet Macaw Recovery Program, (C) International Rhino Foundation, (D) Monarch Butterfly Watch Program, (E) Vaquita Conservation, (F) Mabula Ground Hornbill Project.

Estimated 1500 Ground Hornbills are left in South Africa.  417 Breeding groups in the whole of South Africa.  The reason for their decline is predominantly loss of habitat to croplands, bush-encroachment, overgrazing and plantations, loss of nesting trees, secondary poisoning & electroction.
