Onze wens-lijst

Need some solid ideas about how precisely you help? Want to donate items and be sure they are gratefully received and used?

Well this is for you, here are some ideas about items you can give and specific projects you can support.

We hope there are possibilities here that appeal to everyone – from crayons, books and torches, to fostering an endangered animal or replanting of a hectare of forest in Kalimantan, right up to the high end of the scale, such purchasing a tractor for a project site or funding a community conservation education course.

Feel free to contact us, at fnpf.id@hotmail.com with other suggestions of items you think might be useful or want more information on anything listed below. Our team would love to hear from you if any of these ideas appeal, and can provide more detailed information and exact costs where they are not listed below.

Our list is divided into our project sites. It’s pretty long, but it is, after all, a wish-list.

Still looking for ideas? What about joining an ecotour on Nusa Penida or in Kalimantan. We run ecotours in partnership with the local community – who we have trained to guide – and the profits go directly back into funding our conservation programs.

What about becoming a regular monthly donor – drop us an email at info@fnp.org. Join us on Facebook, Twitter or Pinterest. Or sign up for our quarterly newsletter.

We hope there is something on this list that inspires you. Everyone, no matter where they live or who they are, can make a difference in the battle to save Indonesia’s endangered wildlife, its habitat and the communities who live nearby.

FNPF receives no government funding and rely solely on the generous backing of donors, supporters and volunteers to carry out our work. Our donors come from all over the world and include individuals, corporations and international NGOs, among them the Humane Society International (Australia), Boeing Corporation, the Gibbon Foundation, the US Fish & Wildlife Service, and many others.
