About us
Friends of the National Parks Foundation (FNPF) is an Indonesian conservation nonprofit organization working to protect wildlife and their habitat, at the same time as supporting local communities.
Our projects are holistic and sustainable, respecting respect the interdependence of wildlife, habitat and these communities. Our work has been recognized by global organizations including the United Nations Development Programme, the Whitley Fund for Nature, and the Rainforest Action Network.
All over Indonesia, native birds are under threat of extinction because of poaching and wildlife trading. The country has the second-highest number of threatened birds in the world. It is also estimated that Indonesia has lost more than 72% of its primary forest, and that deforestation is occurring at a rate of 2.4 million hectares – that is an area more than twice the size of the Caribbean island of Jamaica – a year.
To help tackle these issues FNPF runs projects in Bali and Kalimantan, including wildlife rehabilitation, the breeding and release of critically endangered birds, habitat protection, reforestation and agroforestry – agriculture integrated with the cultivation and conservation of trees. Our community development work includes environmental education, teaching sustainable ways to make a living such as ecotourism and organic farming, and reducing reliance on illegal logging and palm oil plantations, major factors in deforestation.
FNPF, which has its administrative base in Ubud, Bali, was set up in 1997 by a group of veterinarians and conservationists. Our programs are designed and led by founding director and Chief Executive Officer Gede Nyoman Bayu Wirayudha, who has twice been nominated for the Kalpataru Award, Indonesia’s highest award for environmentalists. Doctor Wirayudha was named an Environment Pioneer by the Governor of Bali.
Using its holistic approach, FNPF transformed the Balinese island of Nusa Penida into a bird sanctuary and brought the Bali... show more starling, the island’s emblem and one of the world’s rarest birds, back from the brink of extinction. We have relocated dozens of orangutans to safety from palm oil plantations in Kalimantan. FNPF has also improved the well-being of hundreds of people – thorough education scholarships, agroforestry and ecotourism co-operatives – while motivating them to protect wildlife and restore the natural habitat. We have an inherent understanding of Indonesian culture and spirituality, the needs of local communities, and the challenges they face.
We work in co-operation with groups and individuals including NGOs, researchers, the global conservation community, government, local communities, and customary and cultural groups.
FNPF receives no government funding and relies solely on the generous support of volunteers and donors. To make a donation or to find out about volunteering with us please visit our website www.fnpf.org. Australian taxpayers can make a tax deductible donation via the Humane Society International (Australia) at www.hsi.org.au – be sure to mention that your donation is for FNPF.
Our donors include individuals, corporations and international NGOs, among them the Humane Society International (Australia), Boeing Corporation, the Gibbon Foundation, the US Fish & Wildlife Service, and many others listed on our website.
