Earlier this year, our organization took a significant step forward in wildlife conservation by solidifying our partnership with the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at Universitas Brawijaya (FKH UB) through a Zoom meeting. During the discussion, we successfully aligned our goals and priorities, setting the foundation for collaborative research and training programs. This MOU laid the groundwork for joint efforts in veterinary research and conservation, creating new opportunities for students and professionals alike to engage in meaningful fieldwork and study.
On January 17, 2024, we had the privilege of presenting our research findings on Binturongs (Arctictis binturong) and Malayan Giant Turtle (Orlitia borneensis) to the Yogyakarta Natural Resources Conservation Agency (BKSDA Yogyakarta). This session was a milestone in our efforts to bridge the gap between scientific research and practical conservation measures. We shared valuable insights on habitat preferences, population dynamics, and threats to these species, providing BKSDA with crucial data to inform their conservation strategies and policy decisions. The engagement with BKSDA not only validated our research but also fostered a collaborative spirit aimed at protecting these endangered species.
Concluding our series on NGO Management sponsored by ASAP, the final session on Agile Thinking and Mentoring was held on January 17, 2024. This session was transformative for our organization, as it introduced agile methodologies into our operational framework, enhancing our flexibility, responsiveness, and innovation. The emphasis on mentoring also proved invaluable, helping us build leadership capacity within our team.
From January 30 to February 2, 2024, drh. Irhamna Putri, our Conservation Program Supervisor – joined an impactful training workshop in Manado focused on the Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for wildlife rescue. This event provided essential hands-on training and theoretical knowledge to local wildlife rescue teams. The workshop not only improved immediate rescue operations but also ensured that future efforts would be more effective and humane, contributing to the long-term well-being of local wildlife.
On January 31, 2024, we participated in the SARCC Q1 Members Meeting, part of the Asia For Animals coalition. This meeting was a crucial platform for sharing updates, discussing regional conservation challenges, and coordinating joint actions with other member organizations. Our involvement allowed us to stay informed about regional trends and collaborate with other NGOs, amplifying our impact on wildlife conservation in Southeast Asia. The meeting reinforced our commitment to working collectively towards the protection of biodiversity and the fight against wildlife trafficking.
Reflecting on these activities, it is clear that our efforts in collaboration, research, training, and management have significantly advanced our mission. Each event and meeting contributed to strengthening our impact, fostering partnerships, and enhancing our capabilities to protect and preserve endangered species and the habitats.
