\nThe Western Ghats region of India is characterized by extensive evergreen and moist deciduous forests, which constitute the natural habitat of the Great Indian Hornbill. They require large tracts of forest for foraging and nesting.
\n<\/section>\n
\nOther habitats in India where the Great Indian Hornbill can be found include the forests of the North Eastern states and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. They are large, fruit-eating birds and play a significant role in seed dispersal in their forest ecosystems.
