Both bears were confiscated from a trader together with a lot of other animals. Ben-Ben in February 2015 and Kai in November 2015.

Release of Eagle Bullit
7 April 2016 – Great news from the Wanicare / Cikananga Raptor Release Project:
The Changeable Hawk-eagle “Bullet” arrived in February 2015 at Cikananga Wildlife Rescue Center and during the medical check upon arrival a bullet was found in his leg.
After recovery it became clear that Bullet did not lose any survival or flight skills that an adult wild eagle should have. He passed every stage in rehabilitation very quickly and today we had the honour to see Bullet soar free once again! A short movie of his first flight will follow soon!

Slowlorises moved into new enclosure
13 January 2016 – Today twelve Slow Lorises were moved into the recently finished new large semi natural enclosures at Cikananga. Photos shortly taken after confiscation show that these individuals were kept in horrifying conditions and we were shocked when the approximately 80 individuals arrived in 2013 at Cikananga. Therefore the Cikananga team is very happy that all slow lorises can now be moved outside, and this would not have been possible without the amazing dedication of Nadia LorisLove who collected the funds to finish these cages!
