ProFauna activists staged a unique demonstration by the entrance gate of the Forestry Department Building in Jakarta protesting the trade of primate meat (4 July 2012). In the street act largely covered by media, the activists put a desk with a woman covered in fake blood on top of it.

(07/04/2012) The illegal primate trade in Indonesia remains high in two big cities in the country: Jakarta and Palembang (South Sumatera). The investigation report of ProFauna Indonesia and the International Primate Protection League (IPPL) shows that dozens of primates are killed for the meat and brain as delicacies every month in both cities.

The illegal primate trade in Palembang - South Sumatera gets worse where dozens of primates including the protected species like the slow loris (Nycticebus sp) and the siamang (Hylobates syndactilus) are sold every month. More information

In order to further activate the campaign of forest and wildlife protection in Indonesia, ProFauna forms a specialty team for campaigning. Members of the team which has been named GREEN WARRIOR are carefully selected from ProFauna Supporter (local volunteers). GREEN WARRIOR acts as the main team running ProFauna's street campaigns that are well-known as attractive and brave to urging the protection of wildlife and their habitat.

The joint team tried to catch the monkey by setting food-bait which had been sedated. Couple days later, the locals contacted ProFauna and reported that the monkey had been caught in severe condition. The poor creature was shot in its chest with limp leg probably caused by hard object. The primate could not walk itself and looked stressed.
