  • Borneo Stripped Bare<br />
<br />
Borneo, the third largest island in the world, divided between Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei, was once covered with dense rainforests, but along with its tropical lowland and highland forests, there has been extensive deforestation since the 1960s, as the native economies of the region experienced rapid industrialisation.<br />
<br />
Approximately 73% of the island is Indonesian territory; the Indonesian name for the island, Kalimantan, is used in English to refer to the Indonesian-controlled territory.<br />
<br />
East and South Kalimantan is an Indonesian province in the east and south of the island of Borneo. It’s known for its indigenous Dayak culture and rainforest areas. East and South Kalimantan are home to vast swaths of tropical rain forest that are fast dwindling as a result of mining, logging and plantations. These activities have taken their toll on the environment as well as the indigenous communities that have for generations called the forest their home. <br />

  • Borneo Stripped Bare<br />
<br />
Borneo, the third largest island in the world, divided between Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei, was once covered with dense rainforests, but along with its tropical lowland and highland forests, there has been extensive deforestation since the 1960s, as the native economies of the region experienced rapid industrialisation.<br />
<br />
Approximately 73% of the island is Indonesian territory; the Indonesian name for the island, Kalimantan, is used in English to refer to the Indonesian-controlled territory.<br />
<br />
East and South Kalimantan is an Indonesian province in the east and south of the island of Borneo. It’s known for its indigenous Dayak culture and rainforest areas. East and South Kalimantan are home to vast swaths of tropical rain forest that are fast dwindling as a result of mining, logging and plantations. These activities have taken their toll on the environment as well as the indigenous communities that have for generations called the forest their home. <br />

  • Baby And Mum Orangutan Cling To Each Other Until Help Arrives<br />
<br />
This baby and mum orangutan lost their forest home — but now they're finally safe<br />
<br />
A mother and baby orangutan in Borneo have a bright future ahead of them after rescuers saved them from a life-threatening situation and moved them to a safe new home in the rainforest.<br />
<br />
A team from International Animal Rescue (IAR) based in Ketapang, West Borneo was alerted by locals in the nearby village of Sandai that a mother and baby orangutan had been spotted in a rubber tree plantation. IAR’s Human Orangutan Conflict (HOC) team set off immediately to verify the report. Orangutans that enter villages in search of food are in serious danger of being treated as pests and attacked, even killed by farmers or plantation workers. <br />
<br />
Once they had located them, the HOC team set up camp for the night near the orangutans’ nest and waited for the full rescue team to arrive.<br />
<br />
The following morning, in spite of driving rain, IAR’s marksman Argitoe succeeded in hitting the mother with the first shot of his dart gun and mother and baby landed safely in the net stretched out below them by the rescue team. They named the orangutans Mama Rindi and Baby Rindi. Vet Ayu and Spanish volunteer vet Javier carried out a thorough medical check which confirmed that mother and baby were in good health and the mother was producing milk for her baby. <br />
<br />
IAR CEO Alan Knight said: “This mother and baby are safe now but their story could have ended in tragedy had it not been for the actions of our team. Although some people know to contact us if they spot an orangutan near their village, others still react aggressively to the apes’ presence. By searching for food in the rubber tree plantation, the mother ran a serious risk of being attacked and killed, leaving her tiny baby to be taken and sold as a pet. It’s a great relief to know they are safe.” <br />

This baby and mum orangutan lost their forest home — but now they're finally safe<br />
<br />
A mother and baby orangutan in Borneo have a bright future ahead of them after rescuers saved them from a life-threatening situation and moved them to a safe new home in the rainforest.<br />
<br />
A team from International Animal Rescue (IAR) based in Ketapang, West Borneo was alerted by locals in the nearby village of Sandai that a mother and baby orangutan had been spotted in a rubber tree plantation. IAR’s Human Orangutan Conflict (HOC) team set off immediately to verify the report. Orangutans that enter villages in search of food are in serious danger of being treated as pests and attacked, even killed by farmers or plantation workers. <br />
<br />
Once they had located them, the HOC team set up camp for the night near the orangutans’ nest and waited for the full rescue team to arrive.<br />
<br />
The following morning, in spite of driving rain, IAR’s marksman Argitoe succeeded in hitting the mother with the first shot of his dart gun and mother and baby landed safely in the net stretched out below them by the rescue team. They named the orangutans Mama Rindi and Baby Rindi. Vet Ayu and Spanish volunteer vet Javier carried out a thorough medical check which confirmed that mother and baby were in good health and the mother was producing milk for her baby. <br />

This baby and mum orangutan lost their forest home — but now they're finally safe<br />
<br />
A mother and baby orangutan in Borneo have a bright future ahead of them after rescuers saved them from a life-threatening situation and moved them to a safe new home in the rainforest.<br />
<br />
A team from International Animal Rescue (IAR) based in Ketapang, West Borneo was alerted by locals in the nearby village of Sandai that a mother and baby orangutan had been spotted in a rubber tree plantation. IAR’s Human Orangutan Conflict (HOC) team set off immediately to verify the report. Orangutans that enter villages in search of food are in serious danger of being treated as pests and attacked, even killed by farmers or plantation workers. <br />
<br />
Once they had located them, the HOC team set up camp for the night near the orangutans’ nest and waited for the full rescue team to arrive.<br />
<br />
The following morning, in spite of driving rain, IAR’s marksman Argitoe succeeded in hitting the mother with the first shot of his dart gun and mother and baby landed safely in the net stretched out below them by the rescue team. They named the orangutans Mama Rindi and Baby Rindi. Vet Ayu and Spanish volunteer vet Javier carried out a thorough medical check which confirmed that mother and baby were in good health and the mother was producing milk for her baby. <br />
<br />
IAR CEO Alan Knight said: “This mother and baby are safe now but their story could have ended in tragedy had it not been for the actions of our team. Although some people know to contact us if they spot an orangutan near their village, others still react aggressively to the apes’ presence. By searching for food in the rubber tree plantation, the mother ran a serious risk of being attacked and killed, leaving her tiny baby to be taken and sold as a pet. It’s a great relief to know they are safe.” <br />

<br />
The following morning, in spite of driving rain, IAR’s marksman Argitoe succeeded in hitting the mother with the first shot of his dart gun and mother and baby landed safely in the net stretched out below them by the rescue team. They named the orangutans Mama Rindi and Baby Rindi. Vet Ayu and Spanish volunteer vet Javier carried out a thorough medical check which confirmed that mother and baby were in good health and the mother was producing milk for her baby. <br />

IAR CEO Alan Knight said: “This mother and baby are safe now but their story could have ended in tragedy had it not been for the actions of our team. Although some people know to contact us if they spot an orangutan near their village, others still react aggressively to the apes’ presence. By searching for food in the rubber tree plantation, the mother ran a serious risk of being attacked and killed, leaving her tiny baby to be taken and sold as a pet. It’s a great relief to know they are safe.” <br />

A mother and baby orangutan in Borneo have a bright future ahead of them after rescuers saved them from a life-threatening situation and moved them to a safe new home in the rainforest.<br />
<br />
A team from International Animal Rescue (IAR) based in Ketapang, West Borneo was alerted by locals in the nearby village of Sandai that a mother and baby orangutan had been spotted in a rubber tree plantation. IAR’s Human Orangutan Conflict (HOC) team set off immediately to verify the report. Orangutans that enter villages in search of food are in serious danger of being treated as pests and attacked, even killed by farmers or plantation workers. <br />
