Abstract
Hornbills are a major attraction for ecotourism at the Piasau Nature Reserve, near Miri, Sarawak. Hornbills, in general, are believed to play important ecological roles in tropical forests, especially as agents of seed dispersal. At the Piasau Nature Reserve, the Oriental Pied Hornbill (Anthracoceros albirostris) is the most popular species and has caught the attention of some conservationists. This survey was conducted to investigate the perception of local communities in the Miri area about hornbills at this Park. Our survey suggests that the Miri residents are positive towards hornbill conservation at this park after the case of a Oriental Pied Hornbill called Faridah that was killed. More than half of our respondents are aware of the existence of this hornbill species at Piasau.
