OUR STORY

Protecting Indonesia’s Heritage

The Indonesian Primate Foundation (YSPI) was established in 2025 in Bogor, West Java, as a response to the growing threats to the survival of primates in Indonesia. Born out of concern over habitat degradation, illegal hunting, and the lack of public awareness, YSPI emerged with a conservation spirit rooted in a commitment to preserving primates as an essential part of Indonesia’s ecosystem.

"From the very beginning, YSPI has been dedicated to becoming a hub of collaboration among scientists, educators, communities, and government institutions in safeguarding Indonesia’s primates through scientific, educational, and community empowerment approaches."
