I’m so pleased to be able to wish you a Happy New Year and give you a little update on your adopted orangutans.
I recently spent two weeks at our BORA rescue and rehabilitation centre in East Kalimantan. The purpose of my visit was to spend time with the staff and share my orangutan experience and knowledge with them regarding orangutan behaviour, enrichment, nutrition, welfare, and training for release into the wild
I was so impressed with the dedication and commitment of the staff in preparing these orangutans for release. It is thanks to your generous support that these precious orphaned orangutans have a second chance at returning to their true jungle home.
Meanwhile, over in West Kalimantan, Rickina and her gorgeous little boy Ricko are doing well. Both are in excellent health. Ricko has become more energetic and independent. He engages in solo play but also loves to play with his mum. Ricko has become more wary of the staff and will stay close to Rickina when staff clean their enclosure. They both enjoy the various enrichment and browse given to them.
Thank you so much for helping Rickina and Ricko on their journey to forest freedom.
