29 May 2020 – THANK YOU! We have reached our goal of 2800 Euro on the ‘Help Cikananga in Corona Crisis as new Rescued Animals Arrive’ campaign! Actually we even have collected a bit more, 2855 Euro!

We want to thank everyone who has donated! Thanks to you we can continue our work to help rescued animals, even in difficult times like these.

On behalf of the 500 animals at #Cikananga: Many Many Thanks to you all!

30 March 2020 – As a result of the developing Corona crisis we are looking for help through this GoGetFunding campaign. Currently a substantial source of income has quickly reduced to zero as we needed to close Cikananga from visitors such as interns and volunteers. This income has helped Cikananga in the past to pay for the daily animal care such as food and basic medication. In addition we rescued new animals that are in need.

Please let us know if you want to help or follow the link to the GoGetFunding Campaign of Cikananga & Wanicare Foundation .

If there are any questions or ideas to discuss, please don’t hesitate to contact us at info@wanicare.com.

26 March 2020 – As we speak 60 birds are rescued to Cikananga Wildlife Center after confiscation, being a wide selection from the a illegal trader including Cassowaries, different parrots and Cockatoos species and many more. This huge inflow comes during challenging times as Cikananga is also facing substantial impact from the developing Corona crisis. Currently a substantial source of income has quickly reduced to zero as we needed to close Cikananga from visitors such as interns and volunteers.

Any support for Cikananga is welcome so we can help these birds and the many other animals in our care. More updates to follow.

3 March 2020 – Wanicare & Cikananga are celebrating #worldwildlifeday 2020! For the many animals in our care, mostly victims of the ongoing and horrendous wildlife trade we work together with many other organisation around the globe to be part of the he theme of World Wildlife Day 2020, namely “Sustaining all life on earth”.

This encompasses all wild animal and plant species as a component of biodiversity as well as the livelihoods of people, especially those who live closest to the nature. It also underlines the importance of sustainable use of natural resources in support of the achievement of the #UnitedNations Sustainable Development Goals #SDG.

27 January 2020 – We want to thank all visitors of the 2020 Wanicare Fundraiser & Year Update. During the festive afternoon Wanicare Founder Willemijn Eggen shared an extensive overview of last year and an update on the ambitions for 2020.

In summary last year was intense with many rescue efforts, some incredible releases, new partnerships and sponsors and some fantastic improvements to the Cikananga Widlife Center as we managed to built new enclosures, improved existing existing housing and again invested in the medical support. For 2020 we work with existing partners and sponsors, as well we are to share we welcome new partner to realize our work. As such we will develop the Hornbill Release Project, our Save the Javan Leopard project, the Raptor Project and intensify the efforts for Gibbons and much, much more. This year we are on a mission to release many animals and we hope to provide proper care and a home to wildlife in need.

24 December 2019 – Remember Rasi, the javan Leopard cub we rescued a couple of months ago ? He grew up to be big and healthy now! This footage caught by our camera trap to monitor his condition. His enclosure is designed to minimize his contact with human so we can only see him through camera trap footage like this. This is so that he can maintain his wild behavior and increase his chance of release to his natural habitat in the future.

12 December 2019 -We are incredibly saddened as Pak Alen suddenly passed away yesterday. As a father figure to all of us and working at Cikananga since the very start, Pak Alen was a key pillar for the center and the community around it. Pak Alen combined amazing kindness, humor, humbleness with phenomenal knowledge about animals. It made Pak Alen an admirable and respected man, who will be missed dearly by the Cikananga team, the animals in the center and the many people around him and his family.
