🩺 Orangutan rehabilitation is not only about forest school and release into the wild. Behind the scenes, veterinary teams play a critical role in ensuring every orangutan receives the medical care needed to recover, grow stronger, and prepare for the future.
At rehabilitation centres such as Nyaru Menteng and Samboja Lestari, annual health checks involve extensive coordination between veterinarians, caregivers, technicians, and animal welfare teams.
Routine examinations are also essential for preventing the spread of infectious diseases and identifying health issues early. This is a very important part of long-term conservation efforts.
Through our Orangutan Initiative, we continue to highlight the many people and processes behind orangutan rehabilitation and biodiversity conservation in Indonesia. 🌿
