THERE IS LIFE IN THE EYES ORANGUTAN

As usual I overslept. The bath is a must to increase my good-look,especially today we will visit SMAN 8 Malang. Orange T-shirt with a picture of orangutan in the form of a vector is pride to wear when I am representing COP.

Thanya (COP School Batch # 5) started the visit by telling the history of COP. Continued by Ristanti who explained the anatomy of orangutan. To make it easy, Ristanti explained some of the differences of bone structure, skull and also senses between humans and orangutans. Different os-Ula bone
structure which is longer on the arm and wrist is an adjustment to the habits of climbing and hanging from a tree. Ibenk explained 97% similarity between DNA of orangutan and human, that change along with the changes in the nature and environment. While I began to feel so nervous, I got a chance to explain about the exploitation of animals and what can students of SMAN 8 do.

The was a lot that Orangufriends Malang wanted to share but the time was too tight. I increasingly eager to visit other schools, to encourage the young generation to care more and repair the damage, start from nowon.(Rifqi Rahman, alumni of COP School Batch # 5)

DI MATA ORANGUTAN ADA KEHIDUPAN

Seperti biasa saya terlambat bangun. Mandi itu wajib untuk menambah kegantengan saya, apalagi hari ini akan school visit di SMAN 8 Malang. Baju oranye gambar muka orangutan dalam bentuk vektor adalah baju kebanggaan yang selalu ku pakai saat mewakili COP.

Thanya (COP School Batch #5) mengawali perjumpaan anak SMA 8 dengan menceritakan perjalanan COP selama 9 tahun terakhir ini. Dilanjutkan Ristanti menjelaskan anatomi orangutan. Untuk memudahkan siswa SMA, Ristanti menjelaskan beberapa perbedaan struktur tulang, tengkorak dan juga indra antara manusia dan orangutan. Perbedaan struktur tulang os Radius-Ula yang lebih panjang pada lengan dan pergelangan tangan ini merupakan penyesuaian dengan kebiasaan memanjat dan bergelantungan di pohon. Ibenk memaparkan 97 % kesamaan DNA orangutan dengan manusia, yang berubah mengikuti perubahan sifat dan lingkungannya. Sementara saya mulai merasa mules karena grogi, mendapat kesempatan menjelaskan eksploitasi satwa dan apa yang bisa siswa SMAN 8 malang bisa lakukan.

Begitu banyak yang ingin Orangufriends Malang sampaikan tap iterbatas oleh waktu. Rifqi semakin bersemangat untuk mengunjungi sekolahan lain, untuk mengajak generasi muda yang lain lebih peduli dan memperbaiki kerusakan yang terjadi, mulai sekarang. (Rifqi Rahman, alumni COP School Batch #5)

SOUND FOR ORANGUTAN JAKARTA 2016 “MENOLAK PUNAH”

Centre for Orangutan Protection is an Indonesian original organization which focuses on rescue, preservation and protection of orangutan in its habitat, as well as outside the habitat. Founded in 2007, COP works to counter any crimes against orangutan and their natural habitats. COP investigates, documents, exposes, and if necessary, readily confronts any persons or groups who threaten to disrupt the life of orangutan or local communities living nearby. COP conducts several rapid-response teams to rehabilitate orangutan in Labanan, East Borneo.

In the forefront stands Orangufriends, the supporter group of COP which is always ready to exhaust all means to assist COP. They always have thousands idea to help orangutan. They visit schools to raise students’ awareness, they do campaigns to raise public support, they organize charity events to raise fund and many more. Everything they do, they do it because and for orangutan.

Sound for Orangutan is one of the fund raising event organized by Orangufriends. All of the funds collected in SFO went to COP’s Orangutan Rehabilitation Center in Labanan, East Borneo. SFO was first organized in 2012 and has been held 3 times in Jakarta, once in Yogyakarta, and once in Melbourne. The next will be held in Jakarta in May 2016 with a shoot-out “Menolak Punah”.

Literally, menolak punah means ‘to refuse to extinct’ or ‘to survive’. Seeing their miserable condition in Borneo, this is what the orangutans probably want to say if only they could speak. Both sumatran and bornean Orangutans are listed on Appendix 1 of CITES, which means that they are extremely endangered species. The population keeps decreasing every year. COP takes a great effort to prevent the extinction and this charity event Sound for Orangutan is one of what Orangufriends do to assist the effort.

For you who have a concern about Orangutan, please feel free to join the event. Visit our website www.sound4orangutan.com and our Facebook Page Centre for Orangutan Protection for more information. See you in SFO Jakarta 2016 “Menolak Punah”!
