Our mission

Welfare for the unloved 99%.

Arthropods are the foundation of every land ecosystem — and the species most at risk from pesticides, habitat loss, and indifference.

YKAI is the first Indonesian foundation dedicated to their study, protection, and a public that no longer flinches at the sight of them.
