On February 19, 2019, the medical team conducted a health check on newly rescued orangutans from Longgie, Berau, East Kalimantan. This small orangutan only weighs 6 kg. She is only 1-2 years old, seen from the number of her teeth which is 20.

Mary, is a wild orangutan. Her movement, which always wanted to climb the clinic enclosure and how she treated leaves and twigs given by the caregiver, made the medical team more alert. In fact, Mary immediately piled leaves and twigs like making nests.

The rescue process for Mary was not easy. The team approached the caretaker several times to avoid unwanted rejection. “Thank God, after being given an explanation, the keeper was willing to give Mary. According to the keeper Mary had been kept since last November 2018. It’s still quite new.”, said vet Flora optimistically.

The results of blood tests will be known in the near future. Hopefully, the results will be good and Mary can immediately join other small orangutans in the forest school class. We need your support to take care of Mary, donate through

MARY MENJALANI PEMERIKSAAN KESEHATAN
19 Pebruari 2019, tim medis melakukan pemeriksaan kesehatan pada orangutan yang baru diselamatkan dari Longgie, Berau, Kalimantan Timur. Orangutan kecil ini hanya memiliki berat badan 6 kg. Usianya pun baru 1-2 tahun yang diperlihatkan dari jumlah giginya yaitu 20 gigi.

Mary, adalah orangutan yang cukup liar. Gerakannya yang selalu ingin memanjat kandang klinik dan perlakuannya pada daun dan ranting yang diberikan pengasuhnya membuat tim medis lebih waspada. Bahkan, Mary langsung menumpuk daun dan ranting seperti membuat sarang.

Penyelamatan Mary sendiri bukanlah hal yang mudah. Tim beberapa kali mendekati pemelihara agar tidak terjadi penolakan yang tidak diinginkan. “Syukurlah, setelah diberi penjelasan akhirnya pemelihara bersedia menyerahkan Mary. Mary sendiri dipelihara sejak November 2018 yang lalu menurut pengakuannya. Masih cukup baru.”, ujar drh. Flora dengan optimis.

Hasil pemeriksaan darah akan diketahui sekitar dalam waktu dekat ini. Semoga saja, hasilnya baik dan Mary bisa segera bergabung dengan orangutan kecil lainnya di kelas sekolah hutan. Kami membutuhkan dukungan kamu untuk merawat Mary, donasi yuk lewat https://www.kitabisa.com/orangindo4orangutan

Mary is an orangutan who just recently entered the Borneo COP orangutan rehabilitation center on February 12, 2019. Her small body doesn’t mean she can’t do anything. With her small body, Mary became so agile.

Agility that combined with courage. Where there is an opportunity to be free, she will take it. Getting out of the cage and being in a wide place to reach trees and hang seems like her dream. Maybe that’s what she always planned to do if the cage door was opened.

This morning was no exception. The health team prepared for the Orangutan Posyandu program, where small orangutans were measured and weighed and evaluated for their health. Of course Mary couldn’t be grouped with the others. She still needed to wait for the results from the laboratory about her health. Mary was in the last queue.

While waiting for a call, Mary was invited to the enclosure created by Angel’s orangutan volunteer team from Australia in 2016. Mary used this opportunity to run away and climb trees. The caregivers were made panic, running here and there. Milk and fruit to persuade her to come down were not heeded. Mary didn’t want to come down. Finally … Mary was picked up by force. One of the animal keepers was had to climb the tree and carry her down. (EBO)

MARY KABUR
Orangutan Mary adalah orangutan yang baru masuk ke pusat rehabilitasi orangutan COP Borneo pada 12 Pebruari 2019 yang lalu. Tubuhnya yang kecil bukan berarti dia tidak bisa apa-apa loh. Dengan tubuhnya yang kecil, Mary menjadi begitu lincah.

Kelincahannya juga disertai dengan nyalinya yang cukup besar. Dimana ada kesempatan untuk bebas, dia pasti memanfaatkannya. Keluar dari kandang dan berada di tempat yang luas untuk meraih pohon dan bergelantungan sepertinya mimpinya. Mungkin itu yang selalu direncanakannya jika pintu kandang dibuka.

Tak terkecuali pagi ini. Tim kesehatan bersiap untuk program Posyandu Orangutan, dimana orangutan-orangutan kecil diukur dan ditimbang lalu dievaluasi kesehatannya. Tentu saja Mary belum bisa digabungkan dengan yang lainnya. Dia masih menunggu hasil dari laboratorium tentang kesehatannya. Mary berada pada antrian terakhir.

Sambil menunggu panggilan, Mary diajak ke enclosure yang dibuat tim relawan orangutan Angel dari Australia tahun 2016 yang lalu. Kesempatan ini pun dimanfaatkan Mary untuk kabur dan memanjat pohon. Para pengasuh dibuat heboh, berlari kesana kemari. Susu dan buah untuk membujuknya turun pun tak diindahkannya. Mary tidak mau turun. Akhirnya… Mary dijemput paksa, salah satu animal keeper pun terpaksa manjat pohon dan menggendongnya turun.

Here he is, the noisy Jojo. Jojo always cried hysterically when he could not attend the forest school class. Last Saturday morning when the cage door opened, Jojo wanted to get out and go to the forest school. Pity, that day was not Jojo’s turn to join forest school.

Jojo cried hard, rolling in the cage. He was angry because he was not invited to forest school. Because the tears didn’t stop, Wety persuaded Jojo to be quiet. And when the animal keeper reopened the cage, Jojo stopped crying at once. Immediately he came out and grabbed the keeper’s body. Finally we brought Jojo to the forest school.

Arriving at the location of the forest school, Jojo soon climbed through the tree roots. Every now and then he looked at the keeper from above. He looked very happy to be able to play at the forest school area. “Unfortunately, the forest school schedule must still be implemented because of the limited number of animal keepers at Borneo COP,” said Wety Rupiana, coordinator of the only orangutan rehabilitation center established by Indonesian youths.

YUK, BANTU JOJO TIDAK MENANGIS LAGI
Ini dia, si berisik Jojo. Jojo selalu menangis histeris ketika tidak bisa ikut kelas sekolah hutan. Sabtu pagi kemarin ketika pintu kandang terbuka, Jojo ingin langsung keluar dan berangkat ke sekolah hutan. Kasian, hari itu bukan giliran Jojo masuk sekolah hutan.

Jojo menangis sejadi-jadinya, guling-guling di kandang. Dia marah karena tidak diajak ke sekolah hutan. Karena tangisnya tidak berhenti, Wety mengajak Jojo untuk diam. Dan ketika animal keeper membuka kembali kandang, Jojo langsung menghentikan tangisannya. Segera dia keluar dan meraih badan keeper. Akhirnya Jojo pun kami bawa ke sekolah hutan.

Sesampai di lokasi sekolah hutan, Jojo langsung naik melalui akar pohon. Sesekali melihat keeper dari atas. Dia terlihat sangat bahagia bisa bermain di lokasi sekolah hutan. “Sayang, jadwal sekolah hutan tetap harus diberlakukan karena terbatasan jumlah animal keeper di COP Borneo.”, ujar Wety Rupiana, kordinator satu-satunya pusat rehabilitasi orangutan yang didirikan putra-putri Indonesia.

Are you missing Popi? Popi is an orangutan who joined the COP Borneo orangutan rehabilitation center since she was born. Can you imagine how small and weak she was at that time? And thanks to your support, COP Borneo employs a special baby sitter to take care of her. Thankfully, Popi was able to go through her days well. Even her weight is now 8 kg.

Little Popi is increasingly active in the forest school class. Popi is often seen playing alone at the root of trees. However, when Bonti and Happi were busy making a nest, Popi slowly approached them. When Popi was stunned to pay attention to Bonti and Happi who were busy making nests, then Wety was busy recording what Popi was doing. Wety, the baby sitter who is now the coordinator of the COP Borneo rehabilitation center just like a mother to Popi. A mother who is still worried when her foster children are out of reach, in the trees. What are you afraid of? “Fear of Popi might fall if she chose wrong root or branch to move,” said Wety Rupiana.

Well, after Bonti and Happi’s nest were done, Popi approached them closer. Popi takes a break in their nest. “Take a nap.” (EBO)

POPI NUMPANG TIDUR SIANG
Rindu dengan Popi? Popi adalah orangutan yang masuk pusat rehabilitasi orangutan COP Borneo saat tali pusarnya baru saja lepas. Bisa kamu bayangkan, betapa kecil dan lemahnya dia saat itu? Dan berkat dukungan kamu, COP Borneo mempekerjakan satu orang baby sitter khusus untuk merawatnya. Syukurlah, Popi bisa melalui hari-harinya dengan baik, bahkan berat badannya sekarang 8 kg.

Si kecil Popi semakin aktif di kelas sekolah hutan. Popi terlihat sering bermain sendiri di akar pohon. Tapi saat Bonti dan Happi sibuk membuat sarang, Popi pun perlahan mendekati mereka. Jika Popi terpaku memperhatikan Bonti dan Happi yang sibuk membuat sarang, maka Wety pun sibuk mencatat apa yang dilakukan Popi. Wety, baby sitter yang kini menjadi kordinator pusat rehabilitasi COP Borneo seperti ibu Popi yang masih kawatir saat anak asuhnya di luar jangkauan, di atas pohon. Takut apa ya? “Takut Popi jatuh karena salah memilih akar ataupun dahan untuk berpindah.”, ujar Wety Rupiana.

Nah, usai sarang yang dibuat Bonti dan Happi jadi. Popi pun semakin mendekati mereka. Popi ikut istirahat di sarang buatan mereka. “Numpang tidur siang.” (WET)
