Published focus

Yayasan Owa Jawa states that it was founded in 2003 as a non-profit conservation organisation working on the rescue, recovery and release of the Javan gibbon (Hylobates moloch), a primate endemic to Java. Its vision is the conservation of the Javan gibbon and its habitat in step with sustainable development. Its mission covers rehabilitating confiscated or surrendered gibbons, raising public awareness and building cooperation between stakeholders.

Understanding its work

The website describes the Javan Gibbon Center rehabilitation facility, the release of gibbon pairs at Gunung Puntang in the Mount Malabar Protection Forest, and monitoring and patrols after release. Its programmes also include mobile conservation education for schools and villages in West Java and Banten, community work around national parks, and a gibbon adoption scheme.

Before you contact

Use the contact page on the official website for questions about programmes, adoption or collaboration. The Javan gibbon is a protected species; handovers or sightings should go through the local BKSDA, as the foundation states that gibbons in rehabilitation come from official confiscations or public surrenders. Inclusion here is not a partnership or an assurance of capacity; confirm directly.
