Spotlight: Lisa Beth Acton, Raising Ravens

10,000 Birds

This summer Lisa raised three orphaned Common Ravens. They were not aware of wildlife laws, and thought they could raise and release them.

Other threats arise from illegal logging, hunting for bushmeat, and other body parts (feathers, beak, etc.) Of course, their own mother is not the only threat to Wreathed Hornbill individuals.
