In Borneo’s Central Kalimanthan, Kalaweit is battling the double threat of deforestation and the illegal pet trade. Age of Union joined the organization to learn more about how aerial surveillance is critical to the mission and why releasing apes back into the wild proves so challenging.

The change makers

Chanee
Founder
Borneo, Indonesia

Born and raised in France, Chanee moved to Indonesia when he was 17 years old and gained his Indonesian citizenship in 2012. Since he was 12, he has dedicated his life to helping gibbons, in zoos first, which eventually led him to act in Indonesia, where he created the biggest protection center for gibbons in the world. Chanee created Kalaweit in 1998, with the overall goal of saving gibbons and their habitat in Sumatra and Borneo.
