On August 22, a fire broke out in Batampang village in Central Kalimantan, affecting the Mawas Conservation Program area. Around five hectares was scorched in the remote location, which is difficult to reach. Poor access and a shallow river made it especially challenging for our Mawas team and the Bagawi Hayak firefighting team, who worked tirelessly together to extinguish the fire.

In the Tuanan Research Station, wild male orangutans move through the canopy with remarkable strength and grace. Among them is Dayak: a majestic flanged male whose broad cheek pads signal maturity, dominance, and excellent health.
