Finding an Animal Injured on the Road

Do not step into traffic. Pull over somewhere safe, call the police on 110 if the animal endangers traffic, then contact a vet or the BKSDA.

Snake in the Home

Snake in the house? Move everyone away, watch it from a safe distance and call Damkar (113 or 112). If anyone is bitten, go to hospital at once.

Suspected Rabies Exposure

Bitten or scratched by a dog, cat or monkey? Wash the wound with soap and running water for 15 minutes, then go straight to a puskesmas or hospital.

Reporting Suspected Wildlife Trafficking

Seen protected wildlife being sold, including online? Keep evidence without contacting the seller, then report it to Gakkum Kehutanan or the BKSDA.

Witnessing animal cruelty? Do not confront anyone. Record the facts from a safe place, then report to a police SPKT desk, or call 110 in an emergency.

Finding a Stranded Marine Animal

Found a stranded whale or dolphin? Do not drag or push it back to sea. Keep your distance, note the location and call KKP on 141.

Baby bird on the ground? If it is feathered and hopping, it is probably learning to fly. Leave it, keep cats and dogs away, and watch from a distance.

Animal Safety During Disasters

Include your animals in the family evacuation plan: prepare an emergency bag, ID and a destination that accepts animals before disaster strikes.

Lost a pet? Search nearby, call clinics and shelters, share photos. Found one? Check its ID or microchip and confirm the owner before handing it over.

Animal stuck in a well, on a roof, in a drain or in a snare? Do not risk a rescue yourself. Call Damkar (113/112); for wildlife, contact the BKSDA.

Monkey in a Residential Area

Monkey in the house? Stay calm, keep your distance, do not feed or corner it, hide food, protect children, then call Damkar or the BKSDA.
