Wani Care Foundation

With the donation of the Triodos Foundation we are able to prepare the isolation and quarantine section in the park of PPSC.
This aria’s where not in use for a long time, this because there was not enough money for testing the animals on diseases. Now with the big improvement PPSC makes and running well again we are finely able to test new arrived animals and give them the proper quarantine procedure.
The quarantine section was so long not in use and not looking proper after, all cages where in bad condition and needed to be prepared. With the donation of the Triodos Foundation I started to prepare these cages, painting, cleaning, and welding new fences. Some of the fences are so rusty and broken that we have to replace them. With the donation we could buy a welding machine that we not only need for the preparing of the quarantine cages, but for many cages in the rest of the park.
Triodos Foundation Thank you so much!

Two Long tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis) were rescued on March, 19th 2010 in Sukamanah, Cisaat-Sukabumi by PPSC. We confiscate these two animals form an men that was already familiar for us!!! In November last year we visit this man to confiscate a Java Gibbon. Unfortunately we where at that time to late! The gibbon died a few days before our visit.
This man had at that time already 3 macaques and a lot of other animals like turtles, cats, guinneapigs all very bad housed and in bad condition. The macaques were sitting at a chain that was tied up on a wall and one of the females was pregnant. We ask at that time already if he wanted to give us the macaques but he didn’t want to! The problem is that this animal is not protected, this means for us that we can only rescue macaques if the owner is willing to give the animal to us. At that time the man didn’t want to give the animals to us but finely last march we could convince the owner to give 2 of the macaques Boss and Joko to us. When we arrived there the man had now 6 macaques!! We where hoping that the man want give all the macaques to us, but unfortunately he didn’t. At least Boss and Joko are rescued now and there future is looking good. After arriving at Cikananga, we put Boss and Joko directly into isolation pens in quarantine section to have a medical check, and where we give them the treatment that belongs to the whole quarantine procedure. They where in good condition, although very frightened.
Now two months later they are doing very well, they are active, eating good the medical results where al negative; this means they have no diseases, the where de-wormed twice and the faces was checked. This week we will move them to the socialization cage where we they will be socialised to each other. After this the plan is to bring them to IAR, they are specialised in releasing macaques. Or if this is not possible we will make a group with a few other female macaques and release them by our self. But we are hoping that it is possible to bring them to IAR.

On March 17 David van Gennep (director of AAP) visit PPSC in Cikananga. To see with his own eyes how the progress of PPSC is going. It was for us a big honour to welcome David in Cikananga.
We showed him around in the park of PPSC. David was very enthusiastic about the progress PPSC make and about the present condition. There is still a lot of maintenance work to do in the park but happily David could see the chance we make in the last half year while AAP sponsored PPSC.
As you all could read in the latest story on the website AAP cave PPSC a proof period with financial support for a half year (October 2009 the proof period started), to improve the animal welfare standard (guarantee of the five basic animal needs) and to rebuild the centre to go back to normal in every way, in terms of animal welfare as back in the way it was in the beginning’’ a professional animal rescue centre with the coal of rescuing wild animals and release them back to their natural habitat, or find a good sanctuary for them’’.
With David visit we had the chance to get know each other and to discuss the possibility’s for future cooperation. It looks positive for PPSC. There are still a few items that have to be arranging by PPSC, after that AAP will make their finale decision; starting cooperation with PPSC or not!
Hopefully soon I can give more news about this.

On the last evening of David’s visit he caves a great donation to PPSC, where we are very thankful for; an Autoclave machine for in the animal clinic of Cikananga Wildlife Rescue Center. This tool is used to sterilize medical equipment, and has been on the wish list of Cikananga for a long time already. Now our vet can do operations again in the animal clinic. This was for a long time not possible, because we could not make our medical equipments sterile. But by the donation of the Autoclave machine we can do operation in PPSC again.
David and Stichting AAP; Thank you for your support, help and your belief in PPSC, we hope we can continuing a successful cooperation together.

Wanicare has received a great donation from the Triodos Foundation (the Netherlands) of 5000 Euro! This is the biggest donation that wanicare ever received and we are more than grateful for that! Therefore, we want to thank the Triodos Foundation for their trust in Wanicare and for their great support.

Recently, Wanicare and AOC groene Welle (Zwolle, the Netherlands) have agreed on an opportunity for students to follow an internship at PPSC Cikananga. A great means for them to build up experience in working with wildlife and for us a way to generate help from people who are learning to work with wildlife animals and will probably give new ideas to deal with problems we are facing. Besides this, it is a nice way to generate money and get more publicity for PPSC.
In May 2010 the first two students will be welcomed and will follow an internship for 6 weeks in Cikananga to learn more about wildlife and experience working in an animal rescue centre. Hopefully it will be a great learning experience for them and more students will follow in the future.
Again a good and important step in the right direction for PPSC.
