This heartwarming story is about a mom and how she tenderly embraces her baby girl, who’s crying for her affections, in their reunion after the little one was earlier stolen by the dominant male.
About four years ago, Clara, an adult female orangutan, gave birth to baby Clarita on Salat Island, which is used by the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation (BOSF) as a “pre-release area for orangutan release candidates and also as a sanctuary for unreleasable orangutans.”
The animal welfare group in Indonesia defines “unreleasable” as orangutans who lack the skills to survive on their own, but “will not have to live inside a cage for the rest of their lives. They have the same rights to live in a natural environment, in the forest.”
