UPDATE FROM FIELD IN THE SOUTH KEHJE SEWEN FOREST
Apart from mother-infant units, orangutans are known to be generally solitary creatures; however,
We are working hard to protect the Bornean orangutan and its habitat for future generations. Here are some of the ways we've helped develop a world where orangutans and nature thrive.

Recently two of our team members made the journey up into the hills in the northern area of our main transects in Batikap, to try and locate signals for some of our more elusive orangutans.
Just recently, Mona reappeared near Camp Lesik, in the Kehje Sewen Forest after a couple of months of us not recording her presence. Our last encounter with Mona was along a transect in the Lembu region, in July 2015.
It has been a great start to 2016, and our PRM team continues to patrol and observe the orangutans we have reintroduced in the areas surrounding Camp Nles Mamse and Camp Lesik.
Very sadly not all of the orangutans within our rehabilitation centers can be released back to the wild. Orangutans arrive at our centers of all ages and in all kinds of conditions.
