By The End of the Year 2008: Finishing the Program 2007-2008

Our Grateful, better last than never

By the end of year 2008, at November 13th 2008 precisely, The Javan Slow Loris-Conservation Program (TJSL-CP) got back to the field to continued the program in three last villages (five villages totally) in Tasikmalaya regency, those are Sarimanggu-Karangnunggal, Raksajaya-Sodonghilir and Sukamaju-Bantarkalong. These activities are part of the main project: Generating Local Conservation of Javan Slow Loris in Unprotected Habitat Areas in Tasikmalaya & Ciamis, West Java Indonesia that has been startedsince the middle of 2006 in East Priangan. As has mentioned in the previous posting, the conservation program in Tasikmalaya-Ciamis focused on five villages (four in Tasikmalaya: Sukamaju-Bantarkalong,Raksajaya-Sodonghilir, & Kawungsari-Salawu, & one in Ciamis: Sukakerta-Panumbangan). Until midst of the program time, two villages; Desa Sukakerta Kecamatan Panumbangan in Ciamis and Desa Kawungsari Kecamatan Salawu in Tasikmalaya were conducted.






Gathering with villagers, Cicantel Kawungsari


According to the agenda, we try to run the whole activities on those five villages before the end of 2008. All hindrances and obstacles have been passed, we learnt so much from those. Starting the presurvey, the preliminary survey, the survey, the field research, the awareness & confiscation activities, all those were full of stories & lesson for us. The last three villages were done marathon, in once departure, so that the program was completed by the end of 2008.

Our activities on javan slow loris conservation were just begun by the end of this program. The next agenda will have to run as our commitment to conduct & maintain the javan slow loris conservation in Priangan West Java as mainlyand in Indonesia as generally.
