8 June 2017 – Yesterday we received two otters that were taken in from a private owner. It’s one Asian short clawed otter and one Smooth coated otter. Please take a look at the video and many thanks to Scorpion Wildlife Monitoring Group and Rebecca Rodriquez of Animal House International for facilitating the rescue of these otters and a financial contribution

1 June 2017 – An impression of the new enclosure that we are building in partnership with Four Paws International. This enclosure will provide space for rescued leopards, and through the circulation system we can provide the animals with extra combined enclosures what will motivate them to search and secure their new areas as a part of their rehabilitation process. The largest single enclosure will be over 330m2 which ensures enough space to practise hunting and other survival techniques. We aim to finish the enclosure in september of this year.

Please notice: The picture of this message is an impression of the final construction and features only a part of the roofing, sliding doors etc. The final enclosure will meet all standards to ensure animal welfare.

29 May 2017 – As you might remember we rescued a Javan Leopard last March from a conflict near Cianjur. Now he is fit enough for his first medical exam. Now we could definitely determine it is a male, and we called the young Javan Leopard Wahyu. As Wayhu is in a healthy condition and much stronger than 2 months ago, we hope sooner or later we can release him back to the wild. Please follow us for updates about the Javan Leopard Release Program. Save the Javan Leopard — #SAVETHEJAVANLEOPARD

17 May 2017 – Slowlorris poaching is everywhere, even very close to Cikananga. Last week we took in a male that was brought to us by a caring friend of a staff member. At arrival his legs seemed paralysed and one was broken. After removing a bullet the animal did not recover from the paralysis. Also a X-ray revealed many broken bones. Sadly we could not help this animal in any way and we had to put him down to stop his suffering.

Please know that Slowlorrises are impossible to keep as pets, that poaching simply murders many of them in the process and by now Javan Slowlorrises are critically endangered and vanishing from the wild.

5 May 2017 – Today the students of Groenhorst Almere / Aeres MBO Almere finished their Owl project by putting up the first of 8 nest boxes as part of the 9 day education trip in and around Cikananga. With this effort we faciltate different owl species to nest in and around the Cikananga park and thereby reduce the number of rats that damage the rice fields surrounding Cikananga and eat the food of the animals in the center. The students worked all week on these boxes and the result is great!

1 April 2017 – After over 4 months in quarantine, Siamang Ruby moved yesterday to a spacious, outside enclosure. After her horrible time in the illegal trade, it could very well be that she is outside for the first time in years. The road is long for a return to the wild, but your help makes a difference: Would you like to adopt Ruby? Starting from 10 euro a month we can create a small budget for food, enrichement and save up some money for things like future transport to the place where she belongs. A video is on available on our social media channels like our Facebook page.
