CIKANANGA FOUNDATION JOB VACANCIES 2026
Conservation Educator (Full-time)
Yayasan Cikananga Konservasi Terpadu (or Cikananga Wildlife Center) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the conservation of wildlife and its habitat in Indonesia. Established in 2001, YCKT operates through three key programs: Cikananga Wildlife Rescue Centre (PPSC), Cikananga Conservation Breeding Centre (CCBC), and Cikananga Regenerative Sustainability Program (PPBC).
PPSC provides care for animals confiscated from the illegal wildlife trade and private ownership, ensuring their rehabilitation and potential reintroduction into the wild. CCBC focuses on the conservation breeding of endangered and critically endangered songbirds and warty pig species, working to prevent their extinction through ex-situ conservation efforts. PPBC, the newest initiative, aims to be a regional leader in regenerative agriculture by promoting organic food production, sustainable land management, soil health, and composting—helping local farmers transition from agro-industrial to environmentally sustainable practices.
YCKT is committed to wildlife conservation through multiple approaches, including conservation education. YCKT aims to deliver impactful conservation education and is looking for a dedicated individual to join us as an Educator. This position will have a crucial role in strengthening our education team by developing and delivering educational materials to communities, schools, and partner organizations. Additionally, the role will involve conducting desk-research and contributing to the production of visual communication materials to support wildlife conservation campaigns.
In recent years, YCKT has actively engaged with various community groups to raise awareness about wildlife conservation and habitat protection. As our education programs expand, we are looking for individuals who not only have a strong background in environmental education but also possess the ability to translate research into engaging and effective educational content. Through this position, we aim to enhance the quality and reach of our conservation education efforts, inspiring more people to take an active role in protecting nature.
