about us

We are a 80+ strong Indonesian NGO

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

JAAN is a non-profit organization that strives to rescue, rehabiltate and release Indonesian wildlife. We believe that no animal deserves cruelty and no wild animal should spend its life in captivity.
