Jasmine Park News

Located in Tangerang, Banten, this facility has both a cafe and a rather impressive animal collection including Capybaras, Prairie Dogs, Toucans, Spiny-tailed iguanas, an Armadillo, Maras, and Raccoons.

I'll go here someday. Looks amazing, but the exhibit looked so outdated and almost everything looked too concrete. I hope Aviary Park could acquire rare animals like in here.
 
I've visited this park yesterday (31/07/24), just short this place have some Batu-tier species while also having some of the animal's living conditions more resembling a mix of typical of roadside zoos and a private domestic collection. Outside of the pony ride, the animal section are within a small, fenced complex that cost IDR 20.000 to enter and they also gave you a plastic cup with some carrots, spinach, and sunflower seeds for the birds and deers.

Its quite obvious that this park is a way to capitalize on the owner's exotic pets hobby, a trend seen in some newer zoos. The only good thing I could say is that I'm glad that they put a couple of large trash bins to put the finished feeding cup, which they presumebly reused.

Funny that this minizoo of all things acquired the Brazilian porcupine and Large hairy armadillo first before zoos especially Jatim Park's and Taman Safari's does!
 
Well, it sucks that I have part in funding this place by visiting them a few months ago, not fully learning about their back works and collections :oops:

I mean, the addition of wreathed hornbills, several native parrots, and of all things an cassowary and an arguaby a very rare grey crow definitely raise an eyebrow, even during my first visit. Plus due to the horrible conditions some of the animals are in and the nature of the management (Typical local mini zoos, capitalizing the owner's hobby), I'd say I let this place go and the animals being handled by BKSDA (Implied to currently handling this case).
 
The Instagram account of Jasmine Park also apparently had deleted and/or archived most of their posts showcasing their more exotic animals as well as an reel for their then-new reptile area.

There used to be posts with their armadillo, grey crow, glossy ibis, and several birds, which as of now are gone.

Displaying protected animals without a proper license is just inviting issues, though I wonder if things would have ended up differently if Jasmine Park had only kept legal exotics just like what is happening at Habitat Park.

I personally don't mind zoos that are essentially the owner's personal collection. Faunaland actually somewhat fits this description. The issue I see with these institutions is that they're often not very good husbandry-wise and focus a lot less on education, conservation and education regarding conservation.

That's the thing about zoos or facilities that are essentialy the owner's way of capitalizing on their exotic pet hobby, atleast in Indonesia. Even in the West, I don't think most exotic animal collector tend to actually care much about wildlife conservation or in some cases, even proper welfare, because they're just that, pets or personal collection. Especially since these places often allow the visitors to liberally interact with the animals (that are essentialy pets, allowing to be easy to be interacted with), these places are often very popular (Like Faunaland or Lembang Park & Zoo).

I feel like conservation and education are two words that are often tossed around by pretty much all zoos, aquarias, and other facilities in Indonesia, but, like you said once, they tend to saw conservation simply as breeding the animals and maintain that collection in that facility, almost rarely to be released back, exchanged to other proper facilities, or to be part of a scientific research.

Jasmine Park has apparently added a pair of long-tailed porcupine (Trichys fasciculata). How the hell do they even got one, let alone two! Probably the same way they got the grey crow (Corvus tristis), which they no longer hold.

I went here today to spend the last day of my holiday. This holiday has been uhh.. bittersweet to say the least, but I had a lot of fun thankfully. And here's my review of the park:
  1. Saw some rarities there, namely the prehensile-tailed porcupine, the galago, the Sudan plated lizard and the Reeve's pheasant. Sadly I didn't see the armadillo or the long-tailed porcupine that @Rizz Carlton shown at the post above.
  2. Some of the places are under heavy construction, and the reptile area was pretty messy and some of the exhibits are empty. Some of the animals were in bad shape, like some of the pheasants has damaged tail feathers.
  3. There were some new animals, like the free-roaming emu pair, a new walkthrough aviary that currently houses whistling ducks and pied stilts, a new mammal complex with civets, a binturong, some martens, some galagos and bengal cats.
  4. For a cheap price of 30k it was a decent park. I'll probably come back here when they're done with their construction work, but getting there was a pain since the usual BSD Link bus from Cisauk station does not take me there and I had to use ride-hailing services (Grab Bike) to go there.
Hopefully Jasmine Park gets better in the future. For now, it's a little something for me while waiting for BSD City Zoo to open. Photos will be uploaded soon.

I didn't see the armadillo again either.

Are you sure you saw everything there? None of the animals in the new area are signed, the porcupine could be hiding (I almost missed a second individual that hide behind a wood.)

The reptile area are stil under maintenance/construction, I was hoping to photograph their acrochordus javanicus, but it appears to have been long gone.

  • some martens
Do you have any photos? Is this martes flavigula robinsoni or others?

Personally they're very far from decent. It was located deep in the outskirts area, so I suppose any bus won't stop or even pass there. I only came there just for some animals.
