AWARENESS RAISING THROUGH SEMINAR ENGAGEMENTS In addition to school collaborations, our program extends its reach through seminars both online and offline. By providing lectures at esteemed institutions such as the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Gadjah Mada University, we engage with a larger audience of aspiring wildlife vets and conservationists. These seminars aim to deepen students' knowledge about conservation practices and strategies, equipping them with the necessary knowledge to contribute meaningfully in their future endeavors. We also participate in and organize seminars at various events and celebrations related to wildlife conservation, such as the festivities commemorating Gembiraloka Zoo's 70th anniversary. Such events serve as platforms for knowledge exchange and the nurturing of collective efforts towards safeguarding our wildlife and its habitat.
CONCLUSIONS The Conservation Education Program shines as a beacon of hope amid environmental challenges. Through partnerships with educational institutions, seminars, and awareness events, we empower individuals to be agents of change. Despite our ongoing relocation process, we remain dedicated to preserving the environment. By expanding our reach and impact, we aim to inspire a generation of responsible citizens committed to safeguarding our planet. Together, we can make a difference and build a sustainable future.
A CINEMATIC JOURNEY WITH PURPOSE In celebration of World Wildlife Day on December 4th, we organized a film screening event titled ''Wild Watch.'' During this event, we featured the phenomenal, award-winning documentary "Green" by Patrick Rouxel, along with the documentary "Wildlife Rescue" by Eka Prasasti. These screenings served a dual purpose, raising awareness about the challenges faced by wild animals and emphasizing the critical importance of their existence, highlighting the need for conservation efforts. Additionally, these events provided an opportunity to launch our fundraising effort through the online crowdfunding platform Kitabisa.com. Through this platform, we engaged with individuals who share a passion for conservation, raising funds necessary for our ongoing efforts in wildlife conservation, particularly for the relocation of our center.
