Our Journey
Slow Lorises Rehabilitation Centre in Ciapus Established
In 2007, the rehabilitation centre in Ciapus, Bogor, West Java Province was established, a year before YIARI legally obtained legal status from the Ministry of Law and Human Rights. The construction of a primate rehabilitation center in Ciapus is specifically intended for slow lorises and macaques. This is the first slow loris rehabilitation centre in Indonesia.
YIARI Established
On February 14, 2008, the IAR Indonesia Foundation was granted legal status by the Indonesian Ministry of Law and Human Rights and YIARI began helping more of Indonesia’s wildlife.
Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre in Ketapang Established
The YIARI orangutan rehabilitation centre in Ketapang, West Kalimantan, was started in 2009. However, all the facilities at this orangutan rehabilitation centre were completed in 2012, located in Sei Awan village, Ketapang, West Kalimantan. Currently, the orangutan rehabilitation centre area occupies a land of around 200 hectares designated for medical facilities and forest area as an area to rehabilitate orangutans before being released.
