Wanadri Anniversary: Tracing the History of Indonesia’s Oldest Nature-Lover Organization

Every July 16th, Indonesia celebrates the Wanadri Anniversary, a special day marking the founding of this legendary nature-lovers organization in 1964. For decades, Wanadri has symbolized the passion to explore and preserve the country’s stunning natural heritage.

A Brief History of Wanadri

Wanadri was established in Bandung, West Java, by students driven by adventure and environmental awareness. The name “Wanadri” is derived from Sanskrit, meaning “explorers of forests and mountains.” Since its inception, Wanadri has led numerous expeditions, mountain climbs, and rescue missions in extreme natural terrains.

Contributions and Achievements

As Indonesia’s oldest nature-lovers organization, Wanadri goes beyond adventure. They actively promote environmental conservation education, provide SAR (search and rescue) training, and inspire the creation of many other nature-lover communities.

Their notable achievements include climbing Indonesia’s highest peaks, expeditions to the Arctic, and community service projects in remote areas.

Why Wanadri Anniversary Matters

The Wanadri Anniversary is more than just a historical celebration. It reminds us of the importance of respecting and preserving nature. For the younger generation, it serves as an invitation to join efforts in protecting Indonesia’s natural treasures.
