Friends of the National Parks Foundation’s (FNPF) goal is to create a harmonious and sustainable situation between wildlife, habitat and the local communities. To protect wildlife, FNPF runs very effective rehabilitation programs to ensure that rescued and cage-bred animals can survive in the wild after release. FNPF supports this by trying to create secure environments for wildlife-by restoring / rebuilding habitat, and persuading local communities to protect them. In mid 2011, the Indonesian Government invited FNPF to take over the running of Bali’s only Wildlife Rescue Centre (1 of 8 in whole of Indonesia) in which FNPF cares for and rehabilitates for release wildlife that have been rescued from illegal captivity.
RACI assists FNPF in Nusa Penida through aiding in turtle conservation programs for the island; teaching local FNPF staff and community members English; contributing to garden and greenhouse; and monitoring the development of the Bali starling conservation project. In Tabanan, RACI is contributing to the development of the newly acquired Wildlife Rescue Centre, through print marketing and operational development.
