Save the Orang Utan

. Minggu, 29 Maret 2009


In Indonesia, orangutans currently threatened with demolition forest, hunters who need meat, and hunter for wild animals and illegal trade. WWF estimates that around 250 to 1000 wild orangutans captured and sold on the black market each year. With a total population of less than 30,000 chickens and a slow reproduction (female orangutans rarely bear more than 3 children during the tails of his life), before decreasing orangutans have a significant impact on the population and genetic diversity of these species. Some researchers even fear the reduced population can reduce the genetic viability of species and culminate in the extinction.

Gladikas is currently trying to stem the risk before learning of habits and introduce orangutans back orangutans that have been arrested to their native rain forest. Program is the largest of the like in the world and has been re-introduce more than 150 orangutans to the forest in Tanjung Putting. Program will be successful with the rehabilitated orangutans were found at razia or submitted voluntarily return to the authorities, usually when the orangutans have become sick or grow more than the owner's ability to maintain these animals. (Although the baby orangutans can only menggemaskan, orangutans that have been growing and adult animals that are strong and smart that is capable of doing even more wanton or worse.) Currently most orphans come from oil palm plantation. With deforestation, orangutans mother went to the hunger for food crops. When caught, they were killed and the baby to be sold to the black market or returned to the authorities, which will take them to the Care Center.

Orangutan orphans brought to the facility and Quarantine Orangutan Care Center in the city of Sand Panjung. With 3 veterinarians as permanent staff, plus local assistants and volunteers who bring them to the forest to practice and is equipped with medical supplies and equipment, making the staff-staff in this place can provide a level of care is very good for the orangutans, including operation and perawantan because of illness. However, behind the physical rehabilitation, many young orangutans - especially orphans - require adaptation to the social psychology and in the end they can return to the outdoors and life in general, such as orangutans.
