Communities
Intro
Our work goes beyond rescuing individual animals - we strive to protect entire ecosystems and support the communities that share them. Community involvement is key to long-term success. Our outreach and education programmes empower people to become protectors of the wildlife on their doorstep. By providing training, resources, and alternative livelihoods, we help local people reduce their dependence on practices that harm wildlife and instead become champions for conservation.
Through YIARI’s education programmes, more than 500 students have learned about wildlife conservation, animal welfare, and the importance of protecting their natural environment.
YIARI has worked with 212 farmers in Indonesia to promote sustainable agriculture that supports both livelihoods and the environment.
Over 100 women have joined Power of Mama, a community initiative in Indonesia that empowers mothers to become ambassadors for wildlife and forest protection.
The Vegetable Boat initiative has brought in over IDR 535 million by connecting local farmers to markets in Indonesia.
Through our conservation and community programmes, we’re tackling the root causes of animal suffering and building a future where people and wildlife can thrive together.
