I know you’re very busy and so I’m sorry that my question might seem really unimportant. But we just need to ask this question. I live in Bogor, and about 6 years ago my family sent 3 orangutans- the name were Dul, Bonbon and upik. Sent by Ibu Amalia. We got them from people who abandoned them/treat them badly, and I grew up with Dul together, literally, for 8 years. We’re like my sisters… and that time we didn’t know anything about Nyarumenteng… and we’re against them to be released in the wild because we thought Indonesian forest are dangerous. But finally, we got more information and decided to send them to Nyaru Menteng, with lots of tears. I know it’s impossible for you to remember all the orangutans names one by one, but still….
That time Ibu Amalia visited Nyaru Menteng several times to see how the orangutans doing. But to be permitted to enter it needs your permission, and since your number became permanently unactive, and our mails were never been replied, we guess you became a lot busier.
these past 6 years we’ve been missing them, we just want to know whether they’ve been released in the wild or not, had they been healthy, could they survived well, and is it possible for us to see them again, perhaps in the forest, and what should we do so we can do that?
We really loves orangutans, we stop using the palm oil, and it hurts us everytime we read/watch about the disasters/cruelty related to orangutan…

By the way…
My family watched “Orangutan Island” on Animal Planet very diligently, over and over on Indovision. Me and my Mom cried when Oyoy was founded dead. We love all the characters there, even Hamlet the bully. Even the trailer lines ( –” This is a story… about hope and survival”—) make us cries,so we cries everytime we watched the trailer. Lots of love and prays to all the orangutans all over the world!!

She tries to read all the comments on redapes.org– so feel free to send her your thoughts, words, and prayers…. She is incredibly appreciative!

Nyaru Menteng is not open to the public. Having lots of visitors would be a major health risk to the orangutans– especially the little ones.
BOS has another site that is open for visitors. It’s called Samboja and you can learn more about it here: http://sambojalodge.com
Feel free to email if you have any questions– or contact them directly.
Thanks for your support and interest in protecting orangutans! ~OO

Avui he vist el documental que tractava sobre la teva organització protectora d’Orangutans. La veritat m’ha impactat moltíssim !
Comparteixo la teva preocupació a la vora de cedir la recaptació de les donacions a grans organitzacions dedicades a la protecció dels animals. Penso, jo, que una xarxa de col·laboradors no “tutelada” per cap “gran organització”, segurament seria molt més atractiva… tot i que, segurament, també menys efectiva. la ingent quantitat de diners necessitada pel teu projecte serà, tristament, més fàcil d’assolir per una organització gran…
M’agradaria poder-te ajudar, si et plau, digue’m com…

Gràcies pel teu treball, pel teu cor.

Fins ben aviat !
