Little Harapi was rescued by our Bornean Orangutan Rescue Alliance (BORA) and the Ministry of Environment and Forestry in June 2023. He was being held illegally in Long Gie Village in Berau Regency, East Kalimantan. The BORA team received information about Harapi in the morning of 12 June 2023 and immediately set off to investigate. Upon arrival, they discovered that Harapi had been kept as a family pet for approximately one month. He was dressed in baby clothes and was wearing a necklace.
The team confiscated Harapi and transported him safely to our BORA rescue centre, approximately a three-hour drive away. Harapi was given a thorough examination and estimated to be approximately 10 months old. Thankfully, he was in reasonable health. Being so young, Harapi required constant care from the orangutan and veterinary staff. He was also given a large soft toy and blankets to cuddle. Harapi settled into the BORA centre well. He loves to go outside and explore the baby playground and forest and has a voracious appetite.
He was given the name Harapi as it means ‘hope’ in Indonesian. Precious Harapi can now begin a new life with us at our BORA rescue centre with renewed hope for a better future. With your support, our staff will give him years of care and Jungle School to ensure he has the best possible chance to return to and thrive in the wild where he belongs.
