Our Tari Travel family has recently expanded! We have adopted 3 orangutans who were rescued and now being cared for by the Nyaru Menteng Orangutan Rehabilitation and Reintroduction Center founded by the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation (BOS) in Palangka Raya.
This year there have been some extreme fires in Kalimantan and Sumatra, which have affected the orangutans and their environment greatly. The rescue centers brought in more young orphaned orangutans due to the fires this year than average. And unfortunately in some places orangutans are still being kept as pets and not very well taken care off. The orangutan rescue centers could really need more support this year! And who can resist the adorable faces of these magnificent animals? Just take a look at ‘our’ babies Cinta, Ello and Jumbo:
