Libuun, Taima Maleo Nesting Ground
AlTo’s community-protected maleo nesting grounds are thriving. In fact, at our premier maleo conservation site in Libuun, Taima, Tompotika, on 15 December, 2021, a new world record was noted: 118 maleo birds at once, up from 108 birds in November 2018. Maleo numbers like this have not been seen anywhere else on earth for decades. This is what a healthy, natural maleo nesting ground looks like.
