August 2004

ProFauna blitzed Indonesia’s bird markets this summer with 12 vibrant conservation billboards. With financial assistance from IPPL, this energetic grassroots wildlife group spread the word at seven of Java’s open-air animal trading markets. The signs, placed in cooperation with local conservation officials, are illustrated with pictures of protected animals like the Javan ebony langur. The billboards were designed to warn dealers about prohibitions against trading such animals and to raise public awareness.
