BANANA, NOT BULLET ON VALENTINE’S DAY

Banana Not Bullet. Yes … just bananas … don’t give bullets.

Again, Orangufriends Bali didn’t want to just doing nothing on this Valentine’s Day. COP volunteers, Orangufriends, joined in the banana sharing activity. What is it? why sharing bananas instead of flowers? Because then I can give the flowers to you, hahahaha.

A case of an orangutan that died with 130 air rifle bullets reminded us. That small bullet can kill. Not only the orangutan who died in the Kutai National Park area, but alos the orangutan who died headless in the Kalahien river, Central Kalimantan, found with air rifle bullets on his body. Then an orangutan who died in the PT WSSL area, Sampit also found with rifle bullets. Only that? There are still many more cases where orangutans died with air rifle bullets found in their bodies. Not only orangutans, other wildlife too.

Banana Not Bullet. This is a sweet campaign against the Air Rifle Terror. Actually there are rules for using air rifles. Kapolri Regulation No. 8 of 2012 concerning the supervision and control of firearms for sporting purposes, that air rifles should only be used for sports activities on target and at designated locations.

“If you care about this campaign, it’s really easy. We only spread around the Udayana University, Denpasar. It does not take long time, when bananas are all shared then we are done. Come on, invite friends and relatives to know more about the terror of air rifles especially for wildlife. If not us, then who else? “, Said Zahra, an employee of a multinational company who just had her gallstones operated but took the time to get involved. COP #proudoforangufriends (EBO)

BANANA NOT BULLET DI HARI KASIH SAYANG
Banana Not Bullet. Ya… pisang aja deh… jangan dikasih peluru.
Lagi-lagi Orangufriends Bali tak mau tinggal diam. Di hari kasih sayang alias Valentine Day ini, relawan COP yang tergabung dalam Orangufriends bagi-bagi pisang. Apa sih, koq bagi-bagi pisang? Koq bukan bagi bunga gitu, biar bunganya bisa saya kasih ke yayang… hahahaha.

Kasus kematian orangutan dengan 130 peluru senapan angin mengingatkan kita. Bahwa peluru kecil bisa membunuh. Tak hanya orangutan yang mati di kawasan Taman Nasional Kutai itu saja, orangutan yang mati tanpa kepala di sungai Kalahien, Kalimantan Tengah juga terdapat peluru senapan angin di tubuhnya. Lalu kasus kematian orangutan yang mati di kawasan PT WSSL, Sampit juga ditemukan peluru senapan angin. Hanya itu? Dan masih banyak lagi kasus orangutan yang mati dengan tubuh bersarang peluru senapan angin. Tidak hanya orangutan, satwa liar lainnya pun juga.

Banana Not Bullet. Ini adalah kampanye manis dari Teror Senapan Angin. Aturan penggunaan senapan angin ada aturannya loh. Peraturan Kapolri No 8 Tahun 2012 tentang pengawasan dan pengendalian senjata api untuk kepentingan olahraga, bahwa senapan angin hanya boleh digunakan untuk kegiatan olahraga tepat sasaran dan di tempat yang sudah ditentukan.

“Kalau kamu peduli dengan kampanye ini, mudah banget loh. Kami hanya menyebar di sekitaran Universitas Udayana, Denpasar. Tak perlu berlama-lama, pisang yang dibagi habis, kami pun bubar. Yuk ajak, teman dan saudara untuk lebih tahu tentang teror senapan angin khususnya bagi satwa liar. Kalau bukan kita, siapa lagi?”, ujar Zahra, karyawati perusahaan multinasional yang baru saja operasi batu empedu namun menyempatkan diri untuk ikut terlibat. COP #proudoforangufriends

LET’S HELP JOJO NOT TO CRY AGAIN

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.

Let’s help Borneo COP to add to the animal keeper, by donating through https://www.kitabisa.com/orangindo4orangutan (EBO)

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.

POPI TAKES A NAP

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)
