Cikananga Conservation and Breeding Programme

The priority actions of the Cikananga programme are to:

• Prevent extinction of species by establishing viable captive breeding populations of the Black-winged Starling, the Javan Green Magpie, the Sumatran laughingthrush and the Rufous fronted Laughingthrush and other Indonesian species under threat from trade
• Improve, renovate and modify enclosures for captive breeding
• Expand the breeding programmes to other facilities in Indonesia and Europe in due course
• Provide a base for targeted public education and awareness programmes
• Continue to develop and monitor local reintroduction projects (already begun with the critically endangered Black-winged starling)
