The MOVEMENT to love continues to be promoted by Taman Safari Indonesia (TSI). Through photo and video competitions, TSI once again reminds us to appreciate nature and love animals.
“That is the message that we want to convey in this International Animal Photo & Video Competition (IAPVC) Satwa,” said Lies Yuwati, GM of Taman Safari Bogor in her speech when opening the event at TSI Cisarua, Bogor, West Java, yesterday.
It doesn’t feel like this IAPVC is already the 33rd time held at TSI Bogor. The theme this time is ‘Soul of the Wild’.
Bogor is the last city after Prigen and Solo. A prestigious event that continues to inspire and captivate animal lovers and photographers, it will take place from June 8 to August 25, 2024.
This competition promises to be an extraordinary exhibition of wildlife conservation and beauty efforts.
