- Cikananga has received 9 Sunda porcupines, an New Guinea crocodile, an wreathed hornbill, along with other birds, presumebly from confiscation.
- After nine crab-eating macaques are sent to the Jaringan Satwa Indonesia JAAN facility to Cikoe near Bandung for rehabilitation, five of these macaques have succesfuly been released back into the wild after they had been identified for their release potential.
- The renovation of the aviary and eagle rehabilitation facility has been completed, which came after a fallen tree damaged these infrastructures earlier in the year.
- Additionaly, an new aviary complex has almost finished construction.
- After generous fundings, the Cikananga's Sunda pangolin enclosure has been renovated, which now have increased high for more climbing opportunities, access to additional caves, and more access for sunlight and rainfall to encourage natural plant growth.
- Four Sunda slow loris, who had lived in the facility for a long time, has been translocated to the Ellis Park in South Sumatra. These four slow lorises are victims of the wildlife trade, which sadly are risky to be released back into the wild after their canine teeths had been removed by their former private keepers (A very prevalent and horrible practise in the slow loris keeping community). Their new home can hopefully suplement their needs further, being very close to their natural home afterall.

- Cikananga Wildlife Center on Instagram: "We have recently received 9 Javan porcupines (Hystrix javanica), as well as a New Guinea crocodile (Crocodylus novaeguineae), a Wreathed hornbill (Rhyticeros undulatus), and other bird species. Javan porcupines are nocturnal animals known for their digging habits, which they use to create burrows for shelter and protection. Providing them with an enclosure that mimics their natural environment, including enough space for digging, is essential to their rehabilitation and hopefully eventual release. While the animals are settling, we need your support to build a suitable enclosure for the porcupines, ensuring they have the appropriate space and environment to thrive.

- Cikananga Wildlife Center on Instagram: "Release news! Earlier this year, we had the opportunity to translocate nine long-tailed macaques to @jaan.indonesia rehabilitation center in Cikole. After socializing and forming a group here in Cikananga, they could be moved to JSI for further rehabilitation. Today, we’re pleased to share that five of them, identified for their release potential, have returned to the wild—where they truly belong. Our sincere gratitude goes out to the dedicated team at @jaan.indonesia for their exceptional work in making this possible. Their commitment and expertise have given these macaques a second chance to live freely, and we couldn’t be more thankful. Thank you, JSI, for helping make this journey a reality! #macaquerelease #wildliferescue #wildlifeconservation #cikanangawildlifecenter"
- Cikananga Wildlife Center on Instagram: "We're pleased to share that renovations for our Aviary and Eagle rehabilitation enclosures are now complete! At the start of this year, several fallen trees damaged some of our essential enclosures. Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, we were able to raise the needed funds to restore these spaces. A big thank you to Green Lifeline Action Fund @iucnnl for supporting the renovation of several damaged enclosures, and @ihmtielen for her help with raising funds for the renovation of the Eagle rehabilitation enclosure. During challenging times and beyond, we rely on sponsors like you to keep improving our facilities and caring for the animals.

- Cikananga Wildlife Center on Instagram: " *Exciting Update from CCBC!* Remember our big news from August? We’re thrilled to share that the new aviary block at Cikananga Conservation Breeding Center (CCBC) has taken shape beautifully! Over the past few months, our local building teams have been hard at work, laying extensive brickwork and undertaking large-scale welding to give our facilities a stylish upgrade. ️ At the start of November, the final coats of paint were applied, adding the finishing touches to this amazing project. This new block will provide CCBC with 34 brand-new aviaries for our conservation breeding programmes, representing a huge step forward in our mission and progress! Stay tuned to see how these new aviaries look once they have been prepared for the birds and how they will help us in our conservation mission. This aviary block has been fully funded through the amazing commitment of CCBC’s newest core partners @tierpark_hellabrunn. #CCBC #ConservationBreeding #WildlifeConservation #Aviaries #BuildingProgress #ConservationGoals "
- Cikananga Wildlife Center on Instagram: "Greater Slow Loris Translocation Last week, four of our long-term resident Greater Slow Lorises (Nycticebus coucang)—Puput, Orphan, Root, and Beauty—were translocated back to Sumatra, the island they originally came from. These individuals were rescued from the illegal pet trade, where they endured severe mistreatment. One of the most common and cruel practices inflicted on pet Slow Lorises is the removal of their canine teeth to prevent them from biting. Sadly, because their canines are essential for self-defense, these individuals can never be released back into the wild. Slow Lorises are unique among primates as they possess a venomous bite. Their venom is produced by glands on their upper arms, which, when mixed with saliva, becomes toxic—serving as a defense mechanism against predators and rivals. Although these four cannot return to the wild, their relocation to Sumatra ensures they can live out their lives in a protected environment, closer to their natural habitat. Thanks to the Sumatra Wildlife Center ( @jaan.indonesia & @ellisparksumatra ), they will be safe and well cared for. Their journey serves as a stark reminder of the devastating impact of the illegal pet trade and the critical importance of conservation efforts to protect these remarkable animals. While they were a little hesitant to leave their travel crates at first, they soon climbed up into the trees, finding comfort among the leaves.

I know from before and visiting the center how often it is / was difficult to give the birds what they need most. The Center performs a gargantuan task and really does alot both on the ex situ and in situ sides of conservation. Wish more people both locally and ecotourists would know and visit the Center. They need all the funding they can get!The 4 Wreathed honbills which were kept at the Center have been released into a Sanctuary in West Java

On March 12, Cikananga received four crab-eating macaques, an Javan langur, and an sulphur-crested cockatoo from BKSDA (Indonesian Natural Resource Protection Agency) in Ciamis, West Java. These primates and cockatoo are confiscated from a private keeper. They're immediately put under quarantine for further health checkup.
