EARTH DAY 2024: PLANET VS PLASTICS
Every year on April 22, we celebrate Earth Day to honour the planet that is home to us all.
The Aussie Assistance Program with support from BOS Germany has generously donated equipment to RHOI and the BOS Foundation in Samboja Lestari.
Handed over a few weeks ago, the equipment includes four tranquilliser rifles, two tranquilliser guns and two emergency kits. The equipment has been allocated equally to both RHOI in the Kehje Sewen Forest and Samboja Lestari.
The donation was handed over at an event where Vet Jati received the equipment on behalf of RHOI which was then handed over to Bani of Post Release Monitoring team in Camp Lesik, in the Kehje Sewen Forest.
After the handover, the team in Camp Lesik also received several training sessions from Vet Jati on safe use of the equipment and other medical equipment.

We are immensely grateful to the Aussie Assistance Program for the donation and BOS Germany for their support in ensuring this equipment arrived safely; it will be an invaluable asset towards monitoring activities in Kehje Sewen and Samboja Lestari.
Every year on April 22, we celebrate Earth Day to honour the planet that is home to us all.
It was a usual day at the Nyaru Menteng forest school, where young orangutans were learning from one another while their human surrogate mothers looked on from below.
Our Post-Release Monitoring (PRM) team at Camp Himba Pambelum in Bukit Baka Bukit Raya National Park (TNBBBR), Central Kalimantan, encountered Suci, a young female orangutan, three times back in 2023.
