We are an Indonesian NGO that fights for Indonesian Wildlife
JAAN was established in February 2008 as a central place where people could report cases of animal abuse or find out information about animal welfare in Indonesia.
Since 2008, we have grown significantly. We now have a team of 80+ (mostly local) professionals, we run different wildlife programs, and assist the authorities throughout Indonesia to combat wildlife crime.
We operate solely on donations from individuals and do not receive any financial support from the government.
Rescue & rehab of Indonesian wildlife and fighting for stricter laws that systematically protect widlife
At JAAN, we envision Indonesia as a country where all animals are treated with compassion and respect. We do our best to rescue as much victims as possible from illegal wildlife trade and exploitation, while at the same time we continue to fight for better laws that systematically protect Indonesian wildlife.
approach
Education, advocacy, rescue, and rehabilitation
We are increasingly focusing on the origin of the animal suffering: the trade in wild animals. Stopping and prosecuting smugglers with our K9 unit is a first important step in stopping illegal animal trade. By tackling the problem at the source, we hope that animals will no longer be available on the market in the future.
On top of that, we are continuously lobbying for stricter penalties and laws through petitions and frequent conversations with the national police, with whom we have a good relationship.
Over the past 15 + years we have created a large network of partners, foundations and (local) governments. For example, we work together with the following governmental authorities:
Collaboration is at the heart of JAAN's approach. We work closely with local communities, government agencies, and local and international animal welfare organizations to amplify our impact.
Through workshops, educational programs, and advocacy campaigns, we empower individuals and organisations to take action and be a voice for the voiceless.
