A knobbed hornbill (Rhyticeros cassidix) female perches on a dead tree in a vegetated area at the foot of Mount Tangkoko and Mount Duasudara (Dua Saudara) in Bitung, North Sulawesi, Indonesia. A report by a team of scientists led by Marine Joly, based on research conducted since 2012 to 2020, revealed that the temperature is increasing by up to 0.2 degree Celsius per year in Tangkoko forest. Currently, climate change is one of the main factors affecting biodiversity worldwide at an alarming rate, as reported by a team of scientists led by Antonio Acini Vasquez-Aguilar in their March 2024 paper on Environ Monit Assess. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) also says that rising temperatures have led to ecological, behavioral, and physiological changes in wildlife species and biodiversity. "The effects of climate change on even the smallest species can threaten ecosystems, " they wrote in a Jan 2024 article on IUCN.org. The reason is clear: "In addition to their intrinsic value, species play essential roles in ecosystems, which in turn provide vital services to humans, " they added. Hornbills run a vital role in forest regeneration, due to their seed dispersal ability.
