The Rufous-Necked Hornbill (Aceros Nipalensis) is a species of hornbill found in the North-Eastern Indian Subcontinent and South-East Asia. Numbers have declined significantly due to habitat loss and hunting, and its population has been completely wiped out in Nepal. It is estimated that there are now less than 10,000 adults remaining.
