14 June 2016 – Today the team went to rescue this young West Javan Ebony Langur (Trachypithecus auratus ssp. mauritius), and she is now already on her way to Javan Primates Conservation Project of Aspinal for further rehabilitation. The rescue went smoothly, because the owners agreed on handing her over earlier. As you can see she was chained at a somber location and although she is very skinny, she is doing alright. We are very happy that this individual will now get a second chance in life!

13 june 2016 – One of our current volunteers Sam Oostra started a crowdfunding initiative for the much needed Hornbill enclosure that we want to build in the near future. Currently we are forced to house the hornbills in small cages due to a lack of suitable facilities. This initial initiative will ensure we can start with the foundation of the enclosure. Do you want help us?

We are very happy to share that yesterday 3 macaques left Cikananga after a long period of rehabilitation and are now on their way to JAAN in Jakarta. There they will be introduced to other ex-dancing monkeys for their final return to the wild.

This is Dodol. Last week this Javan Slowloris was transferred from the clinic to a larger cage. She was held as a pet. The little fire face project brought Dodol to us and after some time she can probably return to the wild.
Packages with beautiful presents for the orphans and youngsters at Cikananga keep arriving! It is heartwarming to see that so many people are sending this many gifts! We will now make sure all these useful gifts will get into the arms of the animals that most need it!
Last week young Sun bears to each other and they have so much fun together
Both bears were confiscated from a trader together with a lot of other animals. Ben-Ben in February 2015 and Kai in November 2015. Before the introduction we housed Kai in the smaller part of Ben-Ben’s cages, in this way they could get used to each other without physical contact. And from the beginning the contact was very positive, so after a few days it was the big moment of opening the sliding door between their cages, for them and for us an exiting moment! Especially Ben-Ben was very happy to have a new friend, the only thing he wanted was playing, playing and playing. Kai was a bit stressed in the beginning and didn’t really know how to react on Ben-Ben’s ”weird” playing movements, but after a while she understood that Ben-en just wanted to play and since that time they have so much fun together. It’s so great to see that these young bears who were taken away much to young from their mother, have each other now.
