Indonesian Veterinary Training Program (IVTP) is a network of relevant conservation and medical professionals and nongovernmental organizations that was established in order to share expertise as groundwork for active conservation. IVTP is led by Dr. Darin Collins, director of Animal Health at Woodland Park Zoo, Seattle, Washington, United States.
The program was first introduced in 1999, when the Indonesian Veterinary Medical Association (IVMA) and Woodland Park Zoo joined forces to create the network of conservation and scientific collaborators. This exchange of knowledge provides benefits for all of the participants involved; the support provided by the program helps each to build local capacity to care for and protect the health of wildlife in Indonesia and surrounding South-East Asian countries.
