All seven Java's primates found on the tour

All seven Java’s primates found on the tour

A tremendous succees of our 7D6N wildlife tour to West and Central Java, with all seven primate species of the island seen and photographed! Primates became the most priority to find, especially for the Javan Slow Loris and Javan Fuscous Leaf Monkey. The final results are very satisfying, where five of the seven species are lifer to our guest!

In addition, 10 mammals were seen, such as Black-eared Pygmy Squirrel and Common Palm Civet. Javan Ferret-badger seen through the thermal, but no direct sighting. Also some number of birds recorded, including five kingfishers and the Javan Banded Pitta.

    Great news you have developed this ecotour on Java! Nice report. The Javan nature has its own special charm and species but is quite off radar.
    This community based approach on particular species, including birds, is really nice. Hope you get a lot of photographers one day. I was on java back in 2012. I really enjoyed gunung gede, halimun, alas purwo (banteng).

    Thank you, Maurice-Tijm. Yes, you are right. Still, there are plenty ‘hidden’ wildlife hot spots in this world’s most-populous island!
    Most area visited is non-protected, but the local communities has initiated to protect their wildlife in their own area. Challenging, but developing wildlife tourism is one of our way to support them.
    That three national parks surely a mega hot spot! 🙂
