Kawasan Wisata Pendidikan Lingkungan Hidup (KWPLH) is an environmental education center located in Balikpapan, East Kalimantan, Indonesian Borneo. The facility’s goal is to increase environmental awareness and animal welfare.
KWPLH provides a wonderful accommodation for 5 sun bears rescued from the illegal pet trade. Sun bears are the mascot of Balikpapan, and many of our current education programs and displays focus on them.
The Domestic Animal Program was created in response to the frequent dumping of kittens at KWPLH. We have attempted to establish a safe home for abandoned kittens and a sterilization and adoption program. We have an average of 100+ cats, most of which are permanent residents; In addition we also take care of 5 dogs, and other rescued wildlife whenever brought to the center.
