Four babies orangutans arrived during the pandemic

Despite the ongoing of COVID-19 outbreak in the world include Indonesia, there are still orangutans separated from their mother, and since third week of march 2020, four orangutan babies arrived at the SOCP Orangutan Rescue and Rehabilitation Centre. Two of them are female who are estimated to be 1-1,5 years old, another one is male estimated to be 2 years old.

The four orangutans will undergo special isolation before the quarantine and rehabilitation process, and during the isolation period their condition will be monitored by vet team. All these young orangutans will be with us for the rehabilitation for around four years until they are resettled in one of our reintroduction stations in Sumatra. Infant orangutans are very dependent on their mother until 7-8 years old and during this timehey learn many skills needed to survive in the wild. Even though we are facing this pandemic outbreak we can’t stop to protect the orangutans, and we have to continue all the rehabilitation process at our Centre to giving the best future for this critically endangered species.
