Orangutan sanctuary success in Sumatra
(24 Aug 2012) In Indonesia's westernmost province of Aceh, conservationists are making new homes for the endangered Sumatran orangutan.
22 orangutans have been reintroduced to the wild in what's been hailed as one of the most successful orangutan rehabilitation programmes on the island of Sumatra.
Most of the orangutans here are under 10 years old.
' Home' is the wild reserve of Jantho reached by a two hour drive from Banda Aceh, then on foot through rivers and dense forests.
Officials from Aceh's conservation agency and the non-governmental group Sumatran Orangutan Conservation programme have worked together to release orangutans in these forests since March 2011.
Before their release, field workers place orangutans in several cages at the camp and carry out training to help the protected species survive in the wild.
They feed the orangutans five times a day in their cage until they can find their own food.
As part of their training, staff introduce new orangutans to leaves from forest trees. Then they monitor how these primates develop skills for finding food and making a nest.
Damson Siahaan has been working at Jantho's orangutan camp for the last 2 years, and he is responsible for the well being of those orangutans that they keep temporarily in cages.
We want the orangutans to be more aware of these leaves from the forest that they can eat and we encourage them to try eating the leaves. Thus when we release them to the wild, we hope that they will remember these leaves. It is part of their learning process.
Camp workers are also working to improve the orangutans' intelligence.
In one exercise, they give them rattan branches and watch them learn how to strip off the thorns to get to the calcium-rich fluid inside- one of many crucial skills they will need to survive in the forest.
The orangutans at the Jantho wildlife reserve come from across Sumatra.
Most of the animals had been rescued from private owners. In Sumatra, residents often keep orangutans as pets.
Indonesia's conservation laws prohibit people from owning endangered species and there are tough penalties for those who break the law, including imprisonment.
But conservation officials generally treat residents with pet orangutans leniently.
At first, they will persuade the owners to hand over the primates voluntarily in exchange for immunity from prosecution.
If the owners show resistance, then agency officials will conduct a raid to rescue the orangutans by means of force if necessary.
The head of Aceh's conservation agency, Abubakar Cekmad, is pleased by the success of the rehabilitation programme.
We are creating a new orangutan population by gathering together troubled orangutans, including those involved in past human conflicts, rehabilitating and reintroducing them to the wild in the Jantho reserve, says Cekmad.
The idea for a new orangutan rehabilitation camp in the province came about three years ago when the Aceh governor issued a regulation that restricts the movement of protected species outside of the province.
Conservationists considered 10 different locations across Aceh province but decided on Jantho because of its diversity of food supplies and records showing that orangutans had lived in the reserve before their apparent extinction in the area.
Cekmad has a clear plan in mind for the development of the project.
In the long term, we aim to create an ideal and sustainable population of orangutans. This should consist of about 200 to 250 orangutans that are living in the area.
Many conservationists argue that the fast pace of development in Indonesia is threatening the traditional habitat of orangutans, as pristine rainforests become converted into plantations and residential areas.

Sumatran orangutans were rescued
Orangutans home has been destroyed by bulldozers to make way for an oil palm plantation. Seven Sumatran orangutans, including three mother and baby pairs, were saved from the tiny patch of forest that was being bulldozed by a company which is a member of an industry group responsible for protecting their habitat. They were rescued from the PT Sisirau plantation in Aceh Tamiang, Aceh province, Sumatra, Indonesia and have now been safely released back to the Gunung Leuser National Park.
Eco-tourism whit Hotel Orangutan, Indonesia.
Last August, Minca team had the opportunity to visit Bukit Lawang in the North of Sumatra, Indonesia. We have visited Hotel Orangutan, a Social Enterprise that advocate for local prosperity, community empowerment and oranguntan protection. There is so much to learn from this project as their purpose is to build a more sustainable ecosystem. There are many threats that the Sumatran Orangutans are facing that are drivng them to extinction, protecting the environment and empowering the community may preserve the few Orangutan families that still alive. Hotel Orangutan is married with this cause!
International Orangutan Conservation Relief.wmv
International Orangutan Conservation Relief has now been placed in motion by the European mobilised community to save, make aware, and push for others to take action now.
We ask you to do one thing and thats sign the International petition @
Please read the history below of our reatives that show a 99% DNA match to us;
The Orangutans are the two exclusively Asian species of extant great apes that are native to Indonesia and Malaysia. Highly intelligent creatures they share almost the same characteristics as we do the human species.
Native to Indonesia and Malaysia, Orangutans are currently found only in the rainforests of Borneo and Sumatra. Classified in the genus Pongo, there are only two surviving species.
Both Orangutan species are considered to be Endangered with the Sumatran Orangutan being Critically Endangered. Threats to Orangutan populations include poaching, habitat destruction and the illegal pet trade.
The Orangutan has a new threat though, shoppers thirst for palm oil is now threatening to wipe the whole species of the face of the earth.
The demand for a cheap ingredient found in thousands of products, from shampoo to biscuits, is contributing to the extinction of the Orangutan.
One in 10 mass-produced foods on the worlds supermarket shelves is estimated to contain palm oil, a bulking agent and preservative, but supermarkets and food manufacturers have been accused of doing too little to ensure their supplies are not threatening forests that are vital to the survival of Asia's only great ape.
An estimated 5,000 Orangutans are killed each year in Malaysia and Indonesia by the burning of vast tracts of virgin forest to supply the world's growing demand for palm oil. Building roads to the plantations has made the situation worse, by opening up the jungle for poachers, who kill Orangutan mothers and sell their babies as pets to Asian families.
Only 3 days ago a mother and her new born child was murdered by an angry mob of palm oil workers for the crime of foraging for food that they are finding hard to obtain as of the destruction of their forest / habitat.
Conservationists say Britain, the second biggest importer of palm oil in the EU, could do more. They want the Government to make companies responsible for the environmental impact of their activities in the Company Law Reform Bill. Five major food retailers - Sainsbury, Marks & Spencer, Waitrose, the Co-op and Asda - have joined a not-for-profit organisation aiming to clean up the palm oil industry. But Britain's biggest retailer Tesco and the major store chains Morrisons and Iceland, have refused to join the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil.
We now ask you to not only sign the petition, but to boycott all Britains supermarkets that have refused to join the Roundtable to now make safe the Orangutan.
Should the following Hyper Markets not take action then we will launch a full boycott of their markets and self produced products.
Media, press, and radio we will contact should the named Hyper Markets not join the round table to secure the Orangutans future.

Turista ruso intentó contrabandear un orangután en Indonesia
(25 Mar 2019) RESTRICTION SUMMARY:
STORYLINE:
Las autoridades en Indonesia arrestaron a un turista ruso que intentó sacar de contrabando un orangután en la isla turística de Bali.
Andrei Zhestkov, de 27 años, fue arrestado el viernes en el aeropuerto internacional de Bali después de que los agentes de aduanas encontraron a un orangután de 2 años sedado en una canasta de ratán, dijo Ketut Catur Marbawa, funcionario de la agencia de conservación de Bali.
Las autoridades dijeron el lunes que el animalito se encuentra bien de salud
NAT - Budhy Kurniawan, Agencia para la Conservación de la Naturaleza de Bali
Parece que está acostumbrado a la presencia de los humanos, dijo este funcionario.
Las autoridades dijeron que los agentes de aduanas también encontraron pastillas para la alergia envueltas en plástico, dos geckos y cinco lagartos en la maleta de Zhestkov. Todos los animales estaban vivos.
El ruso confesó a las autoridades haber suministrado las píldoras para la alergia al orangután mezcladas con leche, lo que provocó que el animal perdiera el conocimiento hasta por tres horas.
Zhestkov dijo a las autoridades que compró el orangután por 3.000 dólares en un mercado en la isla principal de Java, Indonesia, porque un amigo le aseguró que podía tenerlo como mascota.
Las autoridades todavía no levantan cargos al sospechoso porque la policía sigue investigando para determinar si hay vínculos con organizaciones internacionales involucradas en el tráfico de vida silvestre.
Los orangutanes están en peligro crítico de extinción.

The death toll from a flash flood close to a popular orangutan reserve on the Indonesian island of Sumatra hit 112 on Thursday as authorities promised to punish illegal loggers held responsible for the disaster.
At least 135 other people are reported missing and feared dead as a result of the flood Sunday, which sent water and thousands of logs crashing down on Bukit Lawang village in north Sumatra, said provincial spokesman Edi Sofyan.
Meanwhile, the orangtans at the reserve have been left to fend for themselves.
