about us

We are a 80+ strong Indonesian NGO

Thousands of animals in Indonesia live sad lives. They are often chained, caged, neglected, tortured and/or abandoned.

JAAN is a non-profit organization that strives to reduce their suffering and provide them better living conditions. We believe that no animal deserves cruelty and no wild animal should spend its life in captivity.
