JAWI introduces an exclusive nature tourism concept that prioritizes immersive experiences within Java's remaining lowland tropical forests. Through nocturnal treks, visitors have the chance to encounter iconic wildlife such as the Javan Slow Loris, Sunda Flying Lemur, and Red Giant Flying Squirrel. Morning excursions focus on observing rare bird species and the natural behavior of the endemic Javan Langur in its native habitat. Beyond mere sightseeing, Kemuning Ecotour serves as a model for community empowerment. By involving residents as field guides and operational staff, the community gains direct economic benefits while becoming key actors in forest preservation. In this sustainable ecotourism model, conservation and community welfare thrive in harmony.

One of our tourism activities is Wild Java. Wild Java is a tourism program initiated by Javan Wildlife Institute (JAWI), Indonesia, and Wild Space, Singapore. We curate meaningful destinations around Yogyakarta and Temanggung, Indonesia, to expose participants to the reality that wildlife must remain free in their natural habitats. We take them to a wildlife trade market so they can witness firsthand how heartbreaking it is to see wild animals confined in small cages. Then, we bring them to Kemuning Forest, JAWI’s project site, to experience the beauty of one of the remaining tropical lowland forests in Java and to observe its wildlife. Participants engage in night observations to see nocturnal animals such as Javan slow lorises and in morning birdwatching activities to foster their appreciation for nature and wildlife.
