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 medical teams at Nyaru Menteng are battling an unknown illness at the moment which as of today has claimed the lives of six of our beloved orangutans in the last three weeks.
The team have established an additional quarantine area and are working in consultation with experts from Indonesia, UK and the USA. Strict measures have been put in place to combat transmission of the illness and laboratories are processing samples to determine the cause.

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.
