Monita

When a resident of Pangkoh village in Pulang Pisau district handed over Monita  to the local authorities, she was just three months old.

According to the villager, he had found her alone in a patch of forest near an oil palm plantation and decided to take her home. Monita lived with him and his family for several days, where she was bathed and dressed as if she were a human baby.

There is hope for Monita's future

Today, Monita attends Nyaru Menteng's forest school. She is getting better and better at climbing and is especially happy to play in the baskets and hammocks - preferably with her friend Baun. Here you can see a video with Monita, just after arriving at Nyaru Menteng:
