Generasi baru aktivis satwa

Dulu, konservasi alam identik dengan orang – orang yang keluar masuk hutan. Kini, tidak lagi. Setengah dari kerja konservasi di masa kini adalah komunikasi. Aya Diandara Salvator tau betul potensi dan bakat yang dimilikinya dan dia menggunakannya sebagai asset yang luar biasa berharga untuk orangutan. Penggila binatang ini total terjun di bidang komunikasi profesional di sebuah perusahaan komunikasi, juga sebagai relawan di COP dan JAAN. Tulisan dan ide desainnya adalah amunisi yang dahsyat, membuka kesadaran banyak orang bahwa kerja konservasi alam bisa dilakukan dari belakang meja kerja di perkantoran. Penggagas inistiatif #wildlifeundercover ini adalah alumni COP School Batch #4 tahun 2014. Yang ingin ikut COP School Batch #5 silahkan hubungi hery@cop.or.id

FACEBOOK, PLEASE STOP BECOME CRIME MEDIA TOWARDS WILDLIFE

Yogyakarta – The method for illegal wild animals trafficking is getting more advanced along with technology developments. One of the most common method is by using Facebook or online advertising. Facebook is the easiest communication tool between sellers to trade protected or non-protected wild animals. Mostly, sellers will create a closed communication group to promote and trade wild animals.

NEW APE WARRIOR, COP RAPID RESPONSE TEAM

Coinciding with their 8th anniversary, the Centre for Orangutan Protection (COP) launched the APE Warrior 2 car to replace APE Warrior. The APE Warrior vehicle has been retired after 5 years of roaming around Java, Sumatra and Bali. APE Warrior was originally called the Mobile Education Unit (MECU) and was based at COP headquarters in Jakarta. However, the COP ultimately needed to expand it to become a separate team like APE Crusader and APE Defender in Kalimantan. Physically, the APE Warrior 2 vehicle (a 2500 cc Ford Everest) is more powerful than its predecessor (a 1500 cc Toyota Rush). Subsequently, its power can be equated with the other vehicles (2500 cc Mitsubishi Tritons) that are being used in Kalimantan.
