Save the Civet from Extinction and Poaching

Their antics are so cute and adorable. In their natural state, these animals, called civets, are adept at jumping from one tree to another. Unfortunately, their lives are sometimes less fortunate, as they are often hunted as pests.

Recognizing this situation, the civet lover community is taking advantage of the visitors. They provide educational opportunities at the agrotourism site in the Bandaran coffee village, Semarang Regency, Central Java.

They encourage visitors to learn more about the characteristics of these animals, especially the five endangered civet species.

Civets have advantages over other pets, such as cats or dogs.

"It's best not to hunt them, so they don't become extinct, so that future generations can still see civets."

This civet lover community in Indonesia is part of the Indonesian Civet Lovers and Conservation Association, or P3MI.

They have been growing for the past five years and have thousands of members. Their activities don't stop at raising and breeding civets, but also include monitoring the civet population in the wild. Civet release activities will be carried out if the civet population in an area declines.

"So, if they see that the population in an area is dwindling, they automatically have to quickly restore the population in that area by releasing them."

The presence of civet enthusiasts is welcomed by visitors and tourists at Kopi Bandaran. Some have even taken to keeping civets at home.

Although not protected animals, several species of civets native to Indonesia are a biodiversity that needs to be preserved.

Greetings always compact.
