Apart from focusing on nest to nest observations of Yayang and her new baby, the Post Release Monitoring (PRM) team is responsible for conducting regular patrlos and monitoring for the other orangutans we have reintroduced into the Kehje Sewen Forest
Rain was pouring down on Kehje Sewen Forest since dawn delaying our patrol teams scheduled to head for Lembu Transect that day.
Last week we updated you on a recent illness Meryl and some of her friends in baby group had suffered. Now, they are fighting fit and able to fully explore the playground in nursery group Forest School once again.
In Indonesia we are currently going through the annual transition from dry season to wet season and during this period we have to pay even closer attention to the health of our orangutans as this is also a time when many illnesses occur.
