This is really cool!

Here’s a thing that really worries me that we don’t talk about nearly enough – the disappearance of large animals from many tropical forests It’s happening all over, and will have impacts for hundreds or thousands of years 🧵 1/ theconversation.com/animals-are-di…

Perfect weather for exploring the area around Yayasan Cikananga Konservasi Terpadu with our vet Wahyu. Pleased to see a sign saying that hunting birds is not permitted. Walking/hiking isn’t really something people do here, there were lots of ‘jalan-jalan’ comments from people we passed 😊. #Indonesia

Didn’t know these existed, now I do. I’m a fan 🤗

A brilliant thread…. why do we stick with ‘males are larger than females’… when, for a wide variety of species, this is not the case 🧐

I don’t mean to speak too soon, but we haven’t had any rain or thunderstorm so far today! I’ve got my laundry dry, and completed the painting I wanted to do during the teamwork session. #indonesia #rainyseason #westjava #cikananga

Thoroughly enjoyed live streaming this with all the Volunteers and Interns here at Yayasan Cikananga Konservasi Terpadu. It’s sparked interesting conversations, thank you Asia for Animals Coalition.

Amazed by the dedication of @QueenFireface and @littlefireface with their long term studies of slow lorises here in West Java. Important points that maybe aren’t ‘popular’, needing fewer people at releases, having the correct information before even considering release.

I had no idea it was #Caturday, but luckily I took this picture of Flup, our lovely blind cat, enjoying the sunshine today. #CatsofTwittter #Cikananga #Indonesia

Busy morning updating the Yayasan Cikananga Konservasi Terpadu website. Almost finished adding content from Bertie Ferns about the species at Cikananga Conservation Breeding Centre. I’m learning lots about website editing! #wordpress #Indonesia #Wildlife

One of the vets from Yayasan Cikananga Konservasi Terpadu is on holiday, so I am looking after his cat. I am not sure she understands personal space, and I am fine with that ❤️ #Caturday

Maned forest lizard (Bronchocela jubata) chilling out in the garden. Quite different ‘garden wildlife’ here in Indonesia than at home in the UK! #Jawabarat #reptile #Cikananga

100,000 people showed up for #thebigone. Considerably more than other events in london this week… It’s sad to see it either being ignored or vilified. In truth, it was a peaceful non-disruptive weekend full of creativity and empowerment in the face of climate change.

Cassowary food prep each morning - 13 cassowaries, means a lot of fruit to cut and portion out! #wildliferescue #cikananga #animalcare #Indonesia
