From east to West Kalimantan, APE Crusader finally arrived in East Kotawaringin regency, Central Kalimantan. With KSDA Region II Post Sampit section, the baby orangutan finally handed over to the country after 2 months of being cared illegally.
This female baby orangutan didn’t look healthy. There was groans several times, as if she was dealing with pain. The team saw a wound on her head that had just dry out. According to Pak Ali who found the orangutan, he found her on his farm when he was about to fishing, then he took her to be kept as pet.
How the baby orangutan was found always when the baby was alone in a farm of the locals. The local who found the baby felt pity and took it home to be cared. In fact, they didn’t even know how to take care of baby orangutan. Just like this baby orangutan called Sutan. He was put in a wooden box of 50 cm x 30 cm x 30 cm. The box condition was dirty like it had never been cleaned, there was also rotten banana leftover inside the box. The box was located behind the hut not far from the bathroom on the riverside.

APE CRUSADER MENUJU KALTENG UNTUK SELAMATKAN BAYI ORANGUTAN
Dari timur Kalimantan menuju barat, APE Crusader akhirnya tiba di kabupaten Kotawaringin Timur, Kalimantan Tengah. Bersama KSDA seksi wilayah II Pos Sampit, bayi orangutan akhirnya diserahkan kembali ke negara setelah dua bulan dipelihara secara ilegal.
Bayi orangutan berjenis kelamin betina ini terlihat tidak sehat. Beberapa kali terdengar rintihannya, seperti menahan sakit. Tim melihat ada luka di kepalanya dan sudah mulai mengering. Menurut pak Ali yang menemukan bayi orangutan tersebut, dia menemukannya di kebun sewaktu memancing, lalu membawanya untuk dipelihara.
Bagaimana bayi orangutan ditemukan selalu saja saat bayi sendiri di kebun atau ladang warga. Warga yang menemukan merasa kasihan dan membawanya untuk dipelihara. Pada kenyataannya, bagaimana cara merawat bayi orangutan pun tidak tahu. Seperti bayi orangutan bernama Sutan ini. Dia dimasukkan ke dalam kotak kayu berukuran 50cm x 30 cm x 30 cm. Kondisi kandang kotor karena tidak pernah dibersihkan, terdapat sisa pisang mentah bahkan busuk di dalamnya. Kandang pun terletak di belakang pondok tak jauh dari kamar mandi di sisi sungai.
