A New Guard Post in the Lamandau Wildlife Reserve
Category: Guard posts and patrols, Lamandau River Wildlife Reserve, Orangutan Care Centre & Quarantine, Rehabilitation | Date: Oct 24 2008 | By: orangutanfoundation
After the orangutan Zidane was brought back to the Care Centre in such an awful condition (A very sick orangutan) we promised we would take action. The subsequent Forestry Police patrol along the Buluh River and the community meeting we organised did not unearth the culprit but would have left no one in any doubt that the matter was being taken seriously.
The next stage was to prevent access into the Reserve from the western side. Jak, our Patrol Manager, has organised the construction of a new post (photo above) which is well on its way. I went over to have a look at the site last week. Its location is strategic and we are confident mobile patrols from this post will prevent people illegally entering the Reserve.
My apologies for my infrequent posts over the last couple of weeks; I am still here but find myself running just to stand still!
Best wishes,
Stephen

This is wonderful as Zidane’s news was quite shocking.
I am impressed with the quick action taken to construct the new post. Thank you!
