Team
As with conservation, Selamatkan Yaki is all about working together – cooperation and collaboration are key to progress. The programme is supported by external contributors in the United Kingdom and Australia, and has a small team of staff working in North Sulawesi, guided by two researcher coordinators. In addition to the individuals working full time for the programme, Selamatkan Yaki is widely supported by a network of collaborators, supporters, partners and sponsors, whom we all consider to be part of our SY family. Finally, we are extremely grateful for the support of all our volunteers, for the time and effort that they commit to helping us reach our goals.
