Ragunan Wildlife Park Profile
Ragunan Wildlife Park was established on September 19, 1964, in Batavia (now Jakarta) under the name "Planten en Dierentuin" and was first managed by the Batavia Flora and Fauna Society (Culture Vereniging Planten en Dierentuin at Batavia).
Ragunan stands on 147 hectares of land, which is rich in biodiversity. This mini tropical forest has more than 2,009 animals and is overgrown with more than 20,000 trees, making this area cool and comfortable.
Located about 20 kilometers from the center of Jakarta at an altitude of 50 m above sea level, Ragunan has always been a favorite tourist location for people to enjoy the holidays. With a beautiful atmosphere and a complete ecological system, it can be a source of knowledge related to the preservation of wildlife, so this park becomes an educational tourism option that is favored by the community.
