Published focus

Selamatkan Yaki describes itself as an independent conservation foundation protecting the yaki (Macaca nigra), the crested black macaque endemic to North Sulawesi, through conservation, education and research. Its website says the programme began in 2007 and was formally established as Yayasan Selamatkan Yaki Sulawesi in April 2026. Its long-term strategy is based on a Species Action Plan for the yaki.

Understanding its work

Its programme pages cover biodiversity monitoring with camera traps, community conservation, sustainable livelihoods, ecotourism, environmental education and a Green Gospel programme with churches. Selamatkan Yaki also states that it works to reduce the hunting, trade and consumption of yaki as bushmeat, with BKSDA North Sulawesi as its main government partner.

Before you contact

Use the email address or Manado office listed on the official website for questions about programmes, collaboration or volunteering. Because its organisational form changed in 2026, confirm the current entity name before entering any agreement. The yaki is a protected species; hunting, trade or keeping of yaki should be reported to BKSDA North Sulawesi. Inclusion here is not a partnership.
