Current Event II

A young female orangutan was rescued by IAR Indonesia and the Nature Conservation Agency (BKSDA) of West Kalimantan, from a crate in a hamlet located in Punai Jaya, Durian Sebatang Village in Indonesia, where she spent four years. She was kept as a pet by a local man, who found her in 2015 in a palm oil garden close to his house. This young orangutan was kept in a 2m x 1.5 m wooden cage. The man stated that he let her go to the wildness but she returned. Despite his claim, the rescue team confirmed she was kept illegally. Later, the orangutan was sent to Senandung to IAR’s Orangutan Conservation Centre and put in quarantine for eight weeks. Despite the fact that the legislation forbid keeping orangutans as pets, people from rural areas of Ketapang District still keep them as pets.
Many non-governmental and international organizations launch rescue programs of orangutans in Indonesia, particularly in Kalimantan. For example, the International Animal Rescue organization has a base in Kalimantan, just like the Orangutan Outreach organization. In order to get support from foreign and local population, IAR and Orangutan Outreach organization create many videos about rescuing and rehabilitating animals. The videos are usually posted on the YouTube platform, where they can reach a bigger audience. These organization create motivational videos about saved orangutans. The Orangutan Outreach organization does not only create short videos but also films, movies and has a special application called APPS FOR APES. The purpose of posting any kinds of materials on the internet is to get as much attention towards the issue as possible. In addition, the social media, in particular Facebook, has an option to donate, which simplifies the process of donation for people who want to help the animals and the organizations.
