Begawan Foundation
Mission statement
Begawan Foundation was launched with a mission to give back to the people of Bali through conservation, education, and health. The Bali Starling Conservation project, which commenced in 1999, was the foundation’s first initiative. The project aims to reintroduce the highly endangered bird species back into its wild habitat.
For almost twenty years, Bali-based NGO Begawan Foundation has worked hard to bring the critically endangered Bali Starling back from the brink of extinction.

Earlier this year, a significant breakthrough was made in one of the projects funded by ASAP’s Species Conservation Fund. After a long search, the dedicated team rediscovered the very first specimen of an Mesilau Stream Toad, thought to have been lost to science.
