Orangutan gaining weight

Dr. Fikri, our new vet who works specifically for the released orangutans in Lamandau Wildlife Reserve, put orangutan Zidane on a special weight gain diet last month. We are happy to tell you that Zidane has gained 3 kg and he is getting stronger each day.
Our on-going protection for Lamandau continues with regular patrols, and this month, the patrol team led by Pak Jak (Patrol Manager of Lamandau Ecosystem Conservation Partnership) installed billboards on all the Lamandau guard posts to help enforce no-burning in the Reserve. (This short update was sent by June Rubis, who is taking over from Stephen this month)
Matthew K, thanks as always for your monthly donation.
Many thanks,
Cathy - Orangutan Foundation

Thanks for the Good news about Zidane. Just one question, how many orangutans are at Lamandau?

I’m glad to hear about Zidane! Do you have an idea of how widespread the illegal burning problem is in Lamandau? Also, what do you think about the news of a new orangutan population?
