MOZA’S JOURNEY FROM KUWAIT TO MOTHERHOOD ON KAJA ISLAND
On September 13, 2015, a two-year-old female orangutan began a long journey back to Indonesia. The young orangutan was later named Moza.
After searching for a long time, through almost the entire forest, it was a relief for the Post Release Monitoring team from Camp Lesik to find Berlian, Upi, dan Hamzah thriving in their natural habitat.
They looked healthy and strong. Berlian was spotted crossing the Lesik River while Upi was up in the trees. They both looked to be in good shape. Upi spent most of her time playing and eating in the trees only descending occasionally to the forest floor.
Meanwhile Hamzah was located busily eating the cambium of Ficus sp. and he had also built two nests.

The team is very happy and proud to see these three orangutans thriving in the forest having adapted brilliantly to their new forest home.

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.
Roy, a young male orangutan estimated to be around two years old, is now undergoing rehabilitation at the Nyaru Menteng Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre in Central Kalimantan.
