Mission statement

Selamatkan Yaki aims to protect the Critically Endangered Sulawesi crested black macaque (Macaca nigra) and its native habitat.

Selamatkan Yaki, in collaboration with the Pacific Institute (Indonesia) and the Whitley Wildlife Conservation Trust (UK), aims to protect the Critically Endangered Sulawesi crested black macaque (Macaca nigra) and its native habitat.

We support conservation of the Sulawesi crested black macaque through research, environmental education, protected area management and capacity building

The programme vision is:

"Macaca nigra flourish as self-sustaining populations in their native habitat within healthy, balanced and well-protected ecosystems and are recognised as a symbol of local and national pride."

Selamatkan Yaki – "Save the Sulawesi crested black macaques" – is a conservation, research and education programme aimed at protecting the habitat and remaining populations of M. nigra (known locally as yaki) in its native range.
