Hundreds of parts from the endangered helmeted hornbill have appeared on Thai-language Facebook groups, a new report claims.

一份新的报告称，数百个来自濒危的角嘴犀鸟的器官出现在泰语的Facebook群组中。

A six-month survey conducted by TRAFFIC, the Wildlife Trade Monitoring Network, reportedly found 40 groups on the platform where helmeted and other hornbill species’ parts were up for sale.

据报道，野生动物贸易监测网络Traffic进行的一项为期六个月的调查发现，平台上有40个群体在出售头部和其他犀鸟的器官。

The helmeted hornbill has a yellow, orange and red growth on its beak and is protected in its various home countries, according to the organization.

据该组织称，这只戴头盔的犀鸟喙上长着黄色、橙色和红色的毛，在不同国家都受到保护。

The bird has attained critically endangered status on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

这种鸟已经在世界自然保护联盟的濒危物种红色名单上处于极度濒危状态。

After the group’s survey was completed in April, Facebook banned wildlife trade from any business that isn’t verified, according to a press release.

根据该组织的一份新闻稿，在4月份调查完成后，Facebook禁止了任何未经核实的商业活动，严禁从事野生动物交易。

As of this month, 35 out of 40 groups appear to have been removed, according to TRAFFIC.

据TRAFFIC称，截至本月，40个团体中有35个似乎已经被移除。

The organization suggests reporting any posts that advertise illegal wildlife sales to law enforcement, TRAFFIC and Facebook.

TRAFFIC’s report was released as part of the 18th Conference to the Parties to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna currently taking place in Geneva.

TRAFFIC的这份报告，作为目前在日内瓦举行的《濒危野生动物国际贸易公约》缔约国第十八次会议的一部分发布。
