In brief

Indonesia’s forests, islands and coasts support remarkable wildlife, including all three orangutan species. Animal welfare and conservation needs differ between Kalimantan, Sumatra and the wider archipelago.

Key Facts About Indonesia

  • Habitat loss and fragmentation is an important context for animal welfare and conservation.
  • The related appeals explain proposed purposes and their geographic scope.
  • Published grant records are separate from country and species information.

Forests, fire and wildlife

Indonesia’s CBD profile identifies habitat degradation, fragmentation, pollution and forest and land fires as biodiversity pressures. These are long-term context. A current fire appeal needs dated incident evidence as well as a clear account of which organisation can respond.

Orangutan rescue and the habitat around it

An animal in immediate danger may need a qualified assessment, but moving animals does not remove the pressures on their habitat. Read the orangutan support guide for the different roles of rescue, rehabilitation, protection and suitable release decisions.

How to assess a relevant appeal

Start with the stated purpose, its geographic scope and the current recipient status. Then look for a costed proposal, authority to do the work, an animal welfare approach and a reporting plan. Proposed support, an approved award and a completed payment are different stages. Country and species guides explain context; grant records establish what WARN has committed or paid.

Threats to Wildlife in Indonesia

Habitat loss and fragmentation

Forest and land fires

Wildlife capture and trade

Pollution of freshwater and coastal habitats

WARN’s role and funding status

WARN staff are currently meeting organisations in Indonesia to understand needs and possible support. Funding shortages have been raised in those conversations. No Kalimantan recipient or grant agreement has been confirmed. The Kalimantan appeal explains the fund purpose and how proposed recipients will be assessed.

Indonesia FAQ

What animal welfare issues does this Indonesia guide cover?
Indonesia’s forests, islands and coasts support remarkable wildlife, including all three orangutan species. Animal welfare and conservation needs differ between Kalimantan, Sumatra and the wider archipelago.
Does this page confirm WARN has funded work in Indonesia?
No. It provides country and animal welfare context. Recipient selection, approved grants, payments and reported outcomes must be checked in the public grant register. Records not yet published means the status is unknown.
Can I restrict a gift to Indonesia?
Read the selected appeal’s purpose and geographic scope before donating. A link from this guide does not create a country-specific fund. Contact WARN before giving if you need a narrower restriction agreed.
How do I find urgent animal help in Indonesia?
Contact a suitable local veterinarian, animal rescue service or wildlife authority directly. Use the rescue help finder and directory to look for organisations, then verify their current contact details and ability to respond. WARN’s donation and contact pages are not emergency dispatch services.
Can I help by sharing this information?
Yes. Share the relevant guide or appeal with its sources, dates and recipient status. Do not describe an illustrative photograph as a current rescue or imply an organisation is a WARN partner without a published record.

Rescue Guides for Indonesia

Explore animal welfare and conservation topics connected to Indonesia. These explain needs and possible responses, rather than confirming funded WARN operations.

Malaysia · Wildlife trafficking

Pangolin Rescue in Malaysia

Pangolin rescue in Malaysia focuses on intercepting trafficked Sunda pangolins, stabilising seized animals, and releasing suitable survivors into protected habitat through specialist rehabilitation partners.

Borneo · Orangutan rescue

Orangutan Rescue in Borneo

Orangutan rescue in Borneo focuses on moving stranded or injured orangutans out of danger, rehabilitating orphans for years, and protecting forest release sites.

Southeast Asia · Companion animal rescue

Dog and Cat Meat Trade in Southeast Asia

The dog and cat meat trade in Southeast Asia moves companion animals through high-stress capture, transport and slaughter routes; rescue depends on enforcement, shelter capacity and demand reduction.

Southeast Asia · Exotic pet trade

Slow Loris Pet Trade Rescue

Slow loris pet trade rescue is difficult because trafficked lorises often arrive with clipped teeth, stress injuries and specialist dietary needs after being taken from the wild for viral exotic pet demand.

Sri Lanka · Marine rescue

Sea Turtle Rescue in Sri Lanka

Sea turtle rescue in Sri Lanka focuses on protecting nests, reducing bycatch, treating injured turtles and helping hatchlings reach the sea safely.

Borneo · Rehabilitation method

Orangutan Forest School

Orangutan forest school is the long rehabilitation process where orphaned orangutans learn climbing, nest-building, foraging and social skills before any possible return to protected forest.

Malaysia · Transit routes

Malaysia Wildlife Trafficking

Malaysia wildlife trafficking matters because the country sits on key regional routes for pangolins, birds, reptiles and big-cat parts, making customs detection and live-animal rescue capacity especially important.

Pangolin rescue · Seizure response

What Happens to Seized Pangolins?

Seized pangolins are assessed by specialist teams, stabilised in quiet quarantine, treated for stress or injury, and released only if they are healthy, wild-behaving and have safe habitat available.

Slow loris · Pet trade injury

Rescued Slow Loris Teeth Removed

Slow loris teeth are often cut or pulled by traders to prevent biting; rescued lorises with dental damage need urgent veterinary care and may be unable to return to the wild.

UK donors · International cat welfare

Help Stray Cats Abroad

From the UK, you can help stray cats abroad by funding neutering, vaccination, emergency treatment, community cat care and shelter support in countries where local capacity is limited.

Indonesia · Community cat welfare

Community Cats in Indonesia

Community cats in Indonesia need humane sterilisation, vaccination, emergency treatment and local education so colonies become healthier and future suffering is reduced.

UK donors · Dogs and cats abroad

Donate to Help Dogs and Cats Abroad

UK supporters can donate to help dogs and cats abroad by funding partner-led veterinary care, neutering, vaccination, emergency rescue, shelter capacity and humane alternatives to culling or meat-trade suffering.

UK donors · Monthly giving

Monthly Donation to Animal Rescue

A monthly animal rescue donation to WARN is recurring support for a selected appeal or the unrestricted fund. Choose an affordable amount and check the funding policy; a recurring gift does not guarantee a clinic day, treatment or grant.

UK donors · Elephant rescue intent

Donate to Elephant Rescue Abroad

UK supporters can donate to elephant rescue abroad through WARN by funding partner-led anti-snare patrols, rapid field-veterinary response and humane human–elephant coexistence for Sumatran and Bornean elephants in Indonesia and Malaysia.

UK donors · Gift Aid explainer

Gift Aid and International Donations for UK Donors

Gift Aid is only available to UK registered charities. WARN is a registered global not-for-profit, not a charity, so it cannot claim Gift Aid — but UK donors can still give effectively to partner-led animal rescue abroad with full receipt and transparency.

UK donors · Meat trade intent

Donate to Stop the Dog and Cat Meat Trade

To help dogs and cats affected by the meat trade, read the sourced welfare context and choose the dog-and-cat meat-trade appeal if its purpose matches your gift. WARN is raising funds towards assessed support; the appeal covers both species and does not confirm a recipient by itself.

US donors · Tax status explainer

Is My Donation to WARN Tax-Deductible in the US?

WARN is a UK-registered global not-for-profit (Community Interest Company), not a US 501(c)(3) public charity. US donors can still give in USD with full receipts, but gifts are generally not tax-deductible on US federal returns — check your tax adviser for your situation.

UK donors · Gift adoption intent

Animal Charity Gift Adoption in the UK

A UK animal charity gift adoption through WARN is a symbolic monthly or one-off donation allocated to a species rescue programme — dog, cat, elephant, tiger, orangutan, macaw, pangolin or sea turtle from £5/month, with a certificate suitable for birthdays and occasions. It is not ownership of a real animal, and Gift Aid does not apply.

Indonesia · Wildlife trade

Kopi Luwak: The Cruelty Behind Civet Coffee

Kopi luwak — civet coffee — is made from coffee cherries eaten and excreted by the Asian palm civet. Traditional production collected droppings from wild civets and raised no welfare concerns, but a 2016 study of 16 Bali plantations found wild-caught civets caged in conditions that failed basic welfare requirements. Most commercial kopi luwak today comes from caged animals, and no reliable certification separates the two.

Indonesia & Malaysia · Wildlife trafficking

The Helmeted Hornbill and the Red Ivory Trade

The helmeted hornbill (Rhinoplax vigil) is hunted for the casque on its head — unlike every other hornbill, its casque is almost solid, and it is carved and traded as "red ivory" or "hornbill ivory". The casque makes up roughly 11% of the bird's 3kg body weight. Hunting pressure and habitat loss moved it straight from Near Threatened to Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List in 2015, and it is listed on CITES Appendix I.

UK donors · Symbolic adoption

Symbolic Animal Adoption UK Charity

Symbolic animal adoption through WARN is a UK-friendly monthly or one-off donation from £5/month directed to a species rescue programme abroad — not ownership of an individual animal, and not Gift Aid eligible because WARN is a registered global not-for-profit, not a UK charity.

UK donors · International giving

Donate to an Animal Charity Abroad UK

UK donors can support animal welfare abroad by choosing an organisation with a relevant purpose, clear legal identity and evidence of how funds are used. WARN accepts donations towards assessed animal-welfare support as a UK CIC; it is not a registered charity or Gift Aid eligible.

UK donors · Wildlife rescue intent

Donate to Wildlife Rescue from the UK

To contribute towards wildlife rescue through WARN, choose a species appeal and read its purpose and funding status. Veterinary assessment, suitable care and habitat protection may be eligible areas to assess; naming a country or organisation in a guide does not confirm a WARN grant.

Wildlife rescue · Pangolins

Donate to Pangolin Rescue

You can donate to pangolin rescue through WARN at /appeals/pangolins — gifts are intended to support partner-led seizure triage, low-stress rehabilitation and release monitoring for Sunda pangolins in Malaysia and Indonesia and Indian pangolins in regional trafficking context.

Wildlife rescue · Tigers

Donate to Tiger Conservation

You can donate to tiger conservation through WARN at /appeals/tigers — gifts are intended to support partner-led anti-poaching patrols, human–tiger conflict response and habitat protection for Sumatran tigers in Indonesia and Malayan tigers in Malaysia. Review the appeal for its purpose and recipient-selection status.

Anti-trafficking · Wildlife crime

Donate to Stop Wildlife Trafficking

Wildlife trafficking donations can support an organisation’s assessed welfare and prevention needs. WARN offers related species appeals for proposed support, including care for animals affected by trade; it does not claim to conduct law enforcement or to have funded every example described here.

Habitat · Forest corridors

Donate to Rainforest Habitat Protection

You can donate to rainforest habitat protection through WARN at /appeals/habitats. Gifts are intended for assessed partner-led forest protection: orangutan habitat in Borneo and jaguar habitat in the Americas. Check the appeal for recipient status, fund terms and any published grant payments.

Vietnam · Bear bile farming

Donate to Moon Bear Bile Farm Rescue

To support bears affected by bile farming, examine the proposed recipient’s authority, veterinary care and long-term accommodation plan. WARN’s moon-bear appeal raises funds towards eligible support; read its scope and grant status before donating.

Donor intent · Rescue giving

Animal Rescue Donations — How to Give Effectively

An animal rescue donation is most useful when its purpose, recipient and reporting are clear. Through WARN, choose a named appeal or unrestricted support, understand that grants require assessment and agreement, and check the public register for available records.

UK donors · Honest comparison

Best Animal Charities to Donate To UK

When comparing animal welfare organisations, match the work to your intended purpose and review legal status, published reports and donation terms. WARN is a UK CIC raising funds towards assessed support, not a registered charity; UK Gift Aid is unavailable.

UK donors · Combined giving

How to Donate to a Local Animal Shelter — UK & Abroad

Donate to a local animal shelter by giving to a registered UK rescue near you. Give on this page as well if you also want partner-led CNVR and meat-trade quarantine abroad. WARN does not operate UK kennels, does not rehome pets, and is not a local animal protection society.

UK donors · Symbolic cat adoption

Adopt a Cat Symbolically UK

You can adopt a cat symbolically with WARN from £5 a month (about 16p a day) or with a one-off gift. Your donation supports WARN’s dog and cat meat-trade appeal, and you receive a personalised digital certificate that can name a gift recipient. It is symbolic: no individual animal is assigned to you.

UK donors · Cat charity donations

Donate to a Cat Charity UK

Donate to a cat charity from the UK by matching the goal: a local registered rescue for rehoming nearby, or WARN — a UK CIC, not a charity — for partner-led community-cat TNVR and meat-trade quarantine in Indonesia, Vietnam and Malaysia.

US donors · Symbolic cat adoption

Adopt a Cat from a Charity in the US

You can adopt a cat symbolically with WARN from £5 a month (about 16p a day) or with a one-off gift. Your donation supports WARN’s dog and cat meat-trade appeal, and you receive a personalised digital certificate that can name a gift recipient. It is symbolic: no individual animal is assigned to you.

US donors · Cat charity donations

Donate to a Cat Charity US

Donate to a cat charity from the US by matching the goal: a local shelter for rehoming nearby, or WARN — a UK CIC, not a 501(c)(3) — for partner-led community-cat TNVR and meat-trade quarantine in Indonesia, Vietnam and Malaysia.

US donors · International rescue giving

Donate to Animal Rescue from the United States

US supporters can donate to WARN in USD towards a selected animal-welfare appeal or unrestricted support. WARN is a UK CIC rather than a US 501(c)(3), so it does not offer US charitable tax deductions. Check the appeal’s purpose and funding status before paying.

US donors · Honest comparison

Best Animal Charities to Donate To US

There is no single best animal organisation for every donor. Compare the purpose you want to support, its legal status, evidence of delivery and financial reporting. WARN is a UK CIC, not a US 501(c)(3), and publishes its appeal purposes and current grant-reporting status.

US donors · Wildlife rescue intent

Donate to Wildlife Rescue from the United States

US donors can choose a WARN wildlife appeal and contribute in USD after reviewing its purpose and funding status. The appeal describes proposed eligible support; it does not guarantee a rescue or prove that a grant has been paid. WARN is not a US 501(c)(3).

US donors · Rescue giving

Animal Rescue Donations — US Donor Guide

For an animal rescue donation from the US, choose an organisation and purpose that fit your intentions, then review the terms and published evidence. WARN accepts USD contributions towards assessed support and identifies its UK CIC status; US charitable tax deductions are unavailable.

Fundraising methods · Lotteries & raffles

Charity Lottery & Raffle Fundraising Explained

A charity lottery or charity raffle is a prize-based fundraiser where people buy a ticket for a chance to win and a share of the money goes to a good cause. In the UK, licensed society lotteries must apply at least 20% of proceeds to the cause, with prizes and running costs taking the rest. In the United States, charitable gaming is regulated state by state rather than federally, and the IRS does not treat a raffle ticket as a deductible charitable contribution because you receive a chance to win in return. World Animal Rescue Network does not run a charity lottery or raffle — a deliberate choice explained on this page — and asks supporters to give directly instead.

Animal welfare 101 · The foundations

What Is Animal Welfare?

Animal welfare is the state of an individual animal — how it is coping, physically and mentally, with the conditions it lives in. It is most often summarised by the Five Freedoms, formalised by the UK Farm Animal Welfare Council in 1979: freedom from hunger and thirst, from discomfort, from pain, injury and disease, to express normal behaviour, and from fear and distress. Modern welfare science has largely moved on to the Five Domains model, which asks not only whether suffering has been removed but whether the animal has anything positive in its life.

Systemic issues · Biodiversity

Biodiversity Loss Explained

Biodiversity loss is the ongoing decline in the variety of life on Earth — species, the genetic variation within them, and the ecosystems they form. The IPBES Global Assessment concluded that around one million animal and plant species are now threatened with extinction, many within decades, more than at any previous point in human history. The five drivers, in order of impact on land, are habitat change, direct exploitation, climate change, pollution and invasive species.

Systemic issues · Farmed animals

Factory Farming Explained

Factory farming, more precisely called intensive animal agriculture, is the practice of raising farmed animals at high stocking density with a high degree of confinement, mechanisation and standardisation, in order to produce meat, milk and eggs at the lowest possible unit cost. The welfare problems it creates are largely structural rather than incidental — they follow from the density and the confinement rather than from cruelty by individual workers.

Policy · Welfare law

Animal Welfare Laws Compared

The UK Animal Welfare Act 2006 imposes a positive duty of care — anyone responsible for an animal must take reasonable steps to meet its five welfare needs — and applies broadly to vertebrates under human control. The US Animal Welfare Act 1966 is narrower: it governs research, exhibition, transport and dealers, and its definition of "animal" excludes birds, rats and mice bred for research along with farm animals raised for food, which means roughly 95% of animals used in US research fall outside it.

Practical guides · Emergencies

Pet Emergency Preparedness

Pet emergency preparedness comes down to two decisions made before anything happens: never leave animals behind when you evacuate, and identify in advance where you can take them, because most emergency shelters do not accept pets. Everything else — the go-kit, the carriers, the copies of vaccination records, the microchip details — exists to make those two decisions possible under pressure.

Practical guides · Wildlife first response

Found an Injured Wild Animal?

If you find an injured wild animal, contain it somewhere dark, quiet and warm — a ventilated cardboard box lined with a towel — and contact a licensed wildlife rehabilitator or veterinary practice immediately. Do not offer food or water, do not attempt treatment, and keep handling to the absolute minimum. Many apparently orphaned young animals are not orphaned at all, so the first question is always whether the animal genuinely needs intervention.

Donor intent · Shelter giving

How to Donate to an Animal Shelter

Give to a registered rescue or humane society near you if you want kennel rehoming. Give on this page if you want partner-led CNVR, rabies vaccination and meat-trade quarantine abroad. WARN does not operate local dog and cat shelters, and it is not a local animal protection society.

Donor intent · Sanctuary giving

Donate to an Animal Sanctuary

Donating to an animal sanctuary usually means supporting a named facility’s care and running costs. Check who operates it and what the gift covers. WARN does not run sanctuaries; its appeals raise funds towards assessed support and explain the current funding stage.

Donor intent · Wildlife giving

Wildlife Charity Donation

Before making a wildlife donation, check the organisation’s legal status, intended work and evidence of funding. WARN’s wildlife appeals describe potential eligible support, with recipient assessment and agreements needed before grants. WARN is a CIC, not a registered charity.

Donor intent · Save animals

Donate to Save Animals

A donation can contribute towards animal welfare, but a fixed amount does not guarantee that an animal will be saved. Choose a relevant appeal, read the funding terms and check for recipient and payment records. WARN is developing support through assessed grants.

Donor intent · International welfare

Help Animals Abroad

To help animals abroad, learn from credible local sources, support an appropriate welfare purpose and share accurate information. WARN offers appeals for assessed support; its country guides provide context and do not establish funded operations in those countries.

Donor intent · International giving

International Animal Charity Donation

An international animal donation should have a clear purpose and accountable use. Compare relevant organisations and read the funding terms before giving. WARN is a UK CIC raising funds towards assessed animal-welfare support; it is not a registered charity.

Occasion giving · Rescue gifts

Animal Rescue Charity Gift

An animal rescue charity gift through WARN is a symbolic adoption from £5/month at /adopt, a monthly sponsorship at /donate/monthly, or a one-off appeal donation at /appeals — honest programme support abroad with a gift certificate emailed on request, not ownership of an individual animal.

In-memory · Tribute giving

Donate in Memory of a Pet

You can donate in memory of a pet through WARN at /in-memory — tribute gifts are species-matched so a gift for a dog helps street dog CNVR abroad, a gift for a cat helps community cat programmes, with honest programme framing and optional memorial wall entry at /pet-memorial-wall.

Corporate giving · CSR

Corporate Donation to Animal Charity

A company can make a donation towards a WARN appeal or discuss a proposed fundraising arrangement. Agree any restrictions, use of names and reporting before announcing a partnership. A corporate contribution does not guarantee a clinic day or establish an existing grant recipient.

Legacy giving · Wills

Leave a Gift in Your Will for Animal Welfare

You can leave a gift in your will for animal welfare to WARN using the exact legal name World Animal Rescue Network CIC and company number 17298990 — your solicitor should use the registered company name and number in the will clause; WARN is a UK CIC global not-for-profit, not a registered charity.

Recurring giving · Sponsorship

Monthly Animal Sponsorship

Monthly animal sponsorship through WARN from £5/month at /adopt is recurring programme support for partner-led rescue abroad — not naming or owning an individual animal, not Gift Aid eligible, cancel anytime by email. You receive a receipt, not a zoo visit.

A charity gift for an animal lover through WARN is symbolic adoption from £5/month at /adopt — choose dog, cat, elephant, tiger, orangutan, macaw, pangolin or sea turtle, with a gift certificate emailed on request and honest programme framing towards potential support for rescue abroad.

Occasion giving · Christmas

Christmas Animal Charity Gift

A Christmas animal charity gift through WARN is symbolic adoption from £5/month at /adopt — choose a species programme, complete checkout, email WARN for a holiday gift certificate, with honest framing towards potential support for rescue abroad rather than a pet under the tree.

Occasion giving · Birthdays

Birthday Animal Sponsorship Gift

A birthday animal sponsorship gift through WARN is symbolic adoption from £5/month at /adopt — complete checkout, email WARN for a birthday gift certificate, with honest framing towards potential support for rescue programmes abroad rather than individual animal ownership.
