Homes for Hornbills is a 12-minute documentary that follows 15-year-old Yanin Tangkaravakoon as she transforms a childhood craft into conservation. Hornbills, known as "farmers of the forest", are vital in dispersing seeds and regenerating ecosystems. Due to deforestation, Thailand's forests are vanishing, and hornbills are losing the ancient trees they depend on to nest. When Yanin first hears a hornbill's call, it becomes a call to action. With access to her family's polymer lab and support from Thailand's Hornbill Research Foundation, she helped develop a new artificial nest, which was then installed on Yao Noi Island, where nesting is in crisis. Narrated by Yanin herself, this film captures the challenges of conservation work: not every nest is used, and progress isn't instant. But what emerges is a moving portrait of patience, ingenuity, and hope. At its heart, Homes for Hornbills is a story of a young girl bridging science and storytelling to give endangered hornbills a second chance, and of a community quietly proving that resilience can take root and soar even in a disappearing forest.
