About Us

Yayasan Konservasi Ekosistem Alam Nusantara
(KIARA)

Yayasan Konservasi Ekosistem Alam Nusantara (KIARA) is a registered charitable organization in Indonesia (AHU – 0016632.AH.01.04).


We are dedicated to safeguarding the Javan gibbon (Hylobates moloch), an endangered yet overlooked species found only on the island of Java and the remaining habitat. Our vision is a future where Javan gibbons and their forest homes thrive alongside communities that take pride in protecting them. Through a collaborative approach, we aim to bridge scientific research with community-driven conservation efforts.

 

Our mission is to ensure the survival of the Javan gibbon by fostering a deep connection between people and nature. We achieve this through:

  • Research
  • Conservation Education
  • Community Engagement

At KIARA, we believe the song of the Javan gibbon is more than a call echoing through Java’s forests—it’s a symbol of their existence and the need to protect them. By amplifying their voice through research, education, and community action, we ensure their song is not forgotten but celebrated as a vital part of Indonesia’s natural heritage. 


Together, we can keep their melodies alive, echoing through the generations as a reminder of our shared responsibility to protect them.
