Please Meet Uncle Win, the Orangutan, Bili, the Rhinoceros Hornbill, and Sam, the Deer – Yayorin mascots for Pride Campaign on Lamandau River Wildlife Reserve

When three of us were first created, we were believed as the “umbrella species” that symbolizes the pride of an area and will be used as mascots to support Pride Campaign program.  The main objective of Yayorin Pride Campaign is to conserve the only wildlife reserve in Central Kalimantan: Lamandau River Wildlife Reserve, located within two districts: Kotawaringin Barat and Sukamara.  We will bring program missions that include increasing the knowledge, influencing attitudes and, eventually, changing the behaviors of the people who live surrounding Lamandau River Wildlife Reserve.
