The Cikananga Wildlife Center (Cikananga Foundation) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the conservation of wildlife and its habitat in Indonesia.

Between 2000 and 2002, eight Wildlife Rescue Centers have been established in Indonesia to stimulate and assist law enforcement of illegal protected wildlife trade, and to facilitate the placement of confiscated animals. This was part of the implementation of CITES, which states that each signatory country has the commitment to establish animal rescue centers. Today we deliver on this implementation as one of the largest multi species rescue operations and breeding centers in Indonesia. Together with support from local and international organisations we strive every day to rescue animals, provide high quality housing and develop effective release programs and breeding program. The breeding program focuses on 5 specific species, more information can be found on the Cikananga Conservation Breeding Center page.

Cikananga Wildlife Center covers an area of 14 hectares and professional facilities have been constructed on site: a large animal clinic, office and many supporting animal facilities. With an area of 14 Hectares and a total of 3,750 animals rescued, the Cikananga Wildlife Center is the largest wildlife rescue center in Indonesia, and has a leading position in Indonesia’s wildlife rescue programs.

The center is proud to be currently one of the largest wildlife rescue centers worldwide and strives to obtain international standards, both in professionalism as well as animal welfare.
