A few days in a rescuecenter... by belgianchocolate
'PUSAT PENYELAMATAN SATWA JOGJA ,is an animal rescue center near Jogya.
It is beautifull located , near slanting forrest.
You can't believe what people have in their homes.
A lot of sunbears , eagles , peacocks , crocodiles , parrots get confiscated and end up here...
You canhelp as well-
If you see a monkey near a house ,
or another illegal animal..
Write down the adres ,
take a picture ,
and send an E-mail in English to
ppsjogja@indo.net.id
They got the ambition to wipe away all the illegal trade in one year. Alreday 7 rescuecenters are build all over Java. Watch the news....worldwide they do confiscations.
(if you like to know more , just mail me)
The nice thing is that this center has got a lot of volunteers. They got the support from the people and the authorities.
Every important person plants a tree here near the center. As a symbol of their support.
Also the tenth sultan of Jogya is going to hand over his animals in some sort of a ceremony. The center gets a lot of puplicity... a good thing.
I was lucky to be able to stay here...
have also a look at my travellogues...the insect pictures are taken here as well.
