Familiar Faces in the Forest!
We have wonderful news to share about a very special girl. Many of you will hopefully remember a beautiful little orangutan named Kesi. She was one of the first orangutans in our online adoption program and was famous for her missing hand, which had been chopped off when she was an infant by the poachers who killed her mother. Little Kesi is all grown up and has moved to an island to begin the final stage of her rehabilitation. Read more on the Orangutan Outreach website.
In other exciting news Hamlet, one of the stars of the Animal Planet series Orangutan Island, has been released back into a safe, secure forest in the Heart of Borneo! Handsome Hamlet is now truly King of the Forest! Bravo to the entire team at BOS Nyaru Menteng for the continued success of the Orangutan Release Program. See more awesome photos & videos.
