Menjaga Owa Jawa di Tengah Ancaman Hutan

Rahayu Oktaviani is a key figure in the Javan gibbon conservation effort in Indonesia. Through her dedication as a researcher and conservationist, she is known as part of a generation that bravely works directly in the field, protecting this endemic species, which is increasingly threatened with extinction. Her role is not only about research, but also about nurturing hope for the survival of life in the forests of Java. For her contributions, Rahayu received the Whitley Award, an international recognition given to conservationists worldwide. This recognition confirms that the quiet work of the forest has a significant impact, not only on Indonesia but also on global conservation efforts. Throughout her journey, Rahayu has been inspired by Jane Goodall, a world-renowned primatologist known for her dedication to wildlife conservation. This spirit continues to drive her to persevere, protect the Javan gibbon, and raise awareness of the inextricable link between humans and nature. Through her efforts in the forest, Rahayu demonstrates that change does not always come from the spotlight, but from consistent and sustained care. Because, when nature loses its guardians, what is lost is not only the species but also the future.
