Our Work

Our Work — WRC Jogja
About Our Work

What We Do

We work to rehabilitate protected animals and return them to their wild homes. However, some animals were raised as pets before coming to WRC and have become so mentally impaired that releasing them is no longer an option. Several individuals also have physical disabilities that mean they can never be released into the wild.

For those animals which still have the option of release, the transfer is in most cases not possible, partly due to deforestation and insufficient funds. It is very difficult to find suitable release habitat in Java, where protected species can thrive without the threat of poaching or habitat loss.

To date, we have taken in over 1,000 animals, and have successfully released over 100. The disparity in those numbers is due largely to translocations. We work closely with other rehabilitation centres around Indonesia, so many animals are transferred to those better equipped for intensive rehabilitation programs.

Perhaps our most successful area is in native eagle rehabilitation. We have large pre-release enclosures where birds of prey can practise flying, hunting, and get accustomed to their native forest habitats.

WRC team at work
No animal deserves to be here. They should be enjoying the jungle and their natural habitats, but unfortunately, that's a lot easier said than done. We try to rehabilitate as many animals as possible and return them to a safe area within Java.

Our Residents

Home to ~150 Animals

We currently home approximately 150 animals, but that number is constantly changing. Every resident has their own individual story of how they came to be here.

The animals are rescued from being kept illegally usually as pets, often in extremely unfit and unhealthy conditions. They may have come from exotic pet traffickers, private owners, unlicensed commercial businesses such as restaurants or illegal zoos, and occasionally intercepted online bidding wars.

They are brought to WRC by Forest Rangers, other NGOs, Indonesian police, or by private owners who can no longer care for the animal. However, financial strain, lack of suitable habitat, physical ailments, and behavioural issues mean most of our residents will stay with us for the rest of their lives.

What You Can Do

We greatly welcome every donation, whether great or small, and encourage you to sponsor one of our animals to ensure their continued care at WRC. We also appreciate people running their own sponsorships in our favour and if you're interested in our Volunteer or Conservation Education programs, please get in touch right away to see your contribution go a long way!

Many people are still unaware of the importance of biodiversity and the need for conservation in Indonesia and worldwide. Education can go a long way for native wildlife. so share our story, spread awareness of deforestation, the exotic pet trade, and harmful animal tourism, and share your love of wildlife!

And the most important thing of all:

🚫 Do not support or fund the illegal wildlife trade!!

Happy New Year 2026 🌿

From all of us at the Wildlife Rescue Center,
may the new year bring hope, healing, and protection
for wildlife and the forests they call home.

Thank you for supporting us and standing with wildlife conservation.

Tojeiro volunteered at WRC in 2018 and instantly fell in love. He decided to leave his job in the Netherlands to work alongside our keepers, managing projects and making sure all the animals get the best care possible. During the relocation period, Tojeiro studied animal health management to increase his capacity in the field of animal welfare.
