Conservation of Endangered and Protected Animals

BCA continues to strengthen its commitment to protecting nature and improving environmental quality through various focused and sustainable programs. These initiatives are carried out together with local partners, educational institutions, and the government to support better environmental management and encourage communities to take part in protecting ecosystems.

Ecosystem Conservation

Providing proper facilities and infrastructure to support biodiversity conservation, including research activities.

Public Education

Providing education and raising awareness among communities about the importance of protecting orangutans and their ecosystems.

Ecosystem Area Support

BCA supports the improvement of pre-release islands and sanctuaries, as well as the long-term maintenance of conservation areas through tree planting.

Sea Turtle Conservation

BCA supports sea turtle conservation in Banyuwangi, Kerobokan Beach (Bali), and Goa Cemara Beach (Special Region of Yogyakarta) through egg relocation, hatchling releases, facility improvements, and public education. Public education is also supported through the opening of a conservation facility at Goa Cemara Beach. The facility was developed as a learning space for local communities, students, and tourists. Located in a tourist area, the facility offers educational tours, hatchling release activities, and opportunities to learn about local culture. Through these activities, visitors can better understand the importance of protecting coastal ecosystems

As part of its conservation efforts, BCA also supports the research and development of “Intan Ruang” by the Banyuwangi Sea Turtle Foundation (BSTF). “Intan Ruang” is an artificial incubation system for sea turtle eggs with a capacity of 12 m³, which can significantly increase the chances of successful hatching.

Unlike conventional incubation methods, “Intan Ruang” does not require sand. Since it was first used in May 2024, it has recorded a high hatching success rate of more than 90%.

“Intan Ruang” can also control temperature and humidity during the incubation process. This helps better manage the sex ratio of the hatchlings. In terms of capacity, it can hold up to 15,000 sea turtle eggs. A smaller version called “Intan Box” is also available, with a capacity of around 1,000 sea turtle eggs.

Orangutan Rehabilitation and Release

BCA supports orangutan conservation together with the East Kalimantan Natural Resources Conservation Agency (BKSDA) and the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation (BOSF). The support includes orangutan rehabilitation, including the adoption of one baby orangutan, as well as the release of orangutans that are ready to return to their natural habitat. To support the rehabilitation process, BCA also helps improve the Forest School, where orangutans can practice exploring their surroundings, recognizing predators, and becoming more independent before returning to the wild. As part of its educational efforts, BCA also held the Student Goes to Nature (SGTN) program again at Samboja Lestari. Hundreds of students took part in conservation education activities, financial literacy sessions, and tree planting in the conservation area.

Javan Leopard Conservation Through the Java-Wide Leopard Survey

Bakti BCA, together with the Ministry of Forestry of the Republic of Indonesia, the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park Office (BBTNBTS), and SINTAS Indonesia Foundation, is carrying out the Java Wide Leopard Survey (JWLS) in Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park. The survey supports the development of the Conservation Strategy and Action Plan (SRAK) for the Javan leopard (Panthera pardus melas). As of July 2025, the first survey in Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park identified at least eight individual Javan leopards. They consisted of one male, six females, and one cub. Meanwhile, the second phase of the survey is still ongoing in 2026 to provide a more complete picture of the leopard population.

Message from the South

Indonesia has long been home to 6 out of 7 sea turtle species in the world. However, in addition to climate change, plastic pollution poses the greatest challenge to their survival. From the moment they hatch, vulnerability is already part of the sea turtle life cycle. It's a race against time in the fight for their preservation.

Student Goes to Nature 2025

Through Student Goes to Nature 2025, students are introduced to the crucial role of conserving Kalimantan's endemic wildlife in maintaining ecosystem balance, and are also equipped with financial literacy education as a foundation for their future.

Java Wide-Leopard Survey (JWLS)

Bakti BCA, in collaboration with the Indonesian Ministry of Forestry, the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park Agency (TNBTS), and the SINTAS Indonesia Foundation, supports Javan leopard conservation through the Java-Wide Leopard Survey (JWLS), a data-driven research initiative conducted in TNBTS.

Turtle Conservation Innovation: Battle for Survival

Banyuwangi Sea Turtle Foundation, in collaboration with Bakti BCA, introduces the 'Intan Ruang' innovation, Indonesia's first artificial incubator capable of maintaining the ideal temperature for the hatching of male sea turtles. With this technology, hatching success rates have increased by up to 90%, offering new hope for sea turtle conservation.
