June 2010 Photo Update... Huge thanks to Iing Iryanto from Cikananga!

Orangutan Outreach has taken over financial responsibility for the care and protection of a pair of lovely orangutans named Noni and Big Dodo who live at the Cikananga (pronounced Chick-a-NAN-ga) Rescue Center in Java, Indonesia. (Please note: He is a different Dodo than Little Dodo, who lives at Samboja Lestari.) We are working to ensure these two victims of the illegal pet trade are taken care of while the Indonesian Forestry Department decides on their fate.

Noni

Noni and Big Dodo were handed over to the Cikananga Rescue Center by a private owner in Bogor (near Jakarta) on May 10th, 2009. Noni is an eight-year-old female and Big Dodo is a nine-year-old male. They are a monogamous couple and live together in a single cage. Preliminary medical tests have shown them to both be in very good health.

Dodo

The Cikananga Rescue Center is located in Sukabumi, West Java. The cage in which Noni and Big Dodo live is in good condition and the sanitation is fine. They have very little enrichment, however, and needs some variation to keep them active, alert and generally more comfortable. Otherwise they may get depressed and unpredictable. Their current diet is barely sufficient. They desperately need an increase in both quantity and quality. We are honored to be able to improve the lives of Noni and Big Dodo to whatever extent possible. If you would like to make a contribution to help care for Noni and Big Dodo, please contact us. Or simply make a donation. In exchange for a minimum donation of $50 we will send you several hi-resolution photos and a personalized certificate. We'll also keep you up to date as we get regular reports Cikananga. Learn more about Cikananga here
