Monyo was rescued on November 14, 2019

A resident of Petuk Liti village found Monyo alone when he was only six months old and unable to fend for himself. Orangutan cubs are - until they are 7-8 years old - completely dependent on their mothers in order to survive.

Now Monyo thrives in Nyaru Menteng's forest school for orphaned orangutans

Fortunately, Monyo was rescued and today he thrives and develops his orangutan skills in a safe and caring environment at the BOS Foundation's rehabilitation center Nyaru Menteng in the central part of Indonesian Borneo. But, there is still a long way to go before one day he is ready to return to his real home, the Borneo rainforest. Ahead of him are many years of rehabilitation, during which he must develop his natural orangutan behavior and learn all the survival skills he will need as a wild orangutan.
