Muara Angke Wildlife Refuge

Unclaimed

Came here for academic project. This wildlife sanctuary hold a big responsibility as a wildlife habitat especially for birds. The parking far from the enter gate. And many facilities such bridge and guest house need to be rebuild. Also for the wood bridge, you have to be careful because it can be so slippery when it wet. I prefer don't bring the hat, because it so windy. When we get there, we only reach more or less 500 m from the gate with walking, although we want to explore more and see what across the bridge. Even this place looks beautiful, but on the edge of track we still can spot the garbage and not good smell. I prefer you can came here in the morning or evening. Also never leave your garbage even you cannot find the trash can here.

The last piece of real nature in this massive mega city. The park seemed closed, still we went to take a look. It is clearly unmaintained, as the paths are not always accessible. Be aware: the ‘cute’ monkeys are very protective regarding there territory. Refreshing part: The smell of the city disappears the more you enter the park.
