A few days after Mama Man and Man's rescue, the team again received reports about the presence of orangutans around the community garden.

This time, the report came from Pemangkat Village, Simpang Hilir District, North Kayong Regency. Four individual orangutans were found in an area adjacent to a resident's garden.

The West Kalimantan (Kalbar) KSDA Center together with YIARI, the Palung Foundation, and the Pemangkat Village Forest Management Institute (LPHD) have been monitoring and searching since early morning.

On September 4 2026, the team succeeded in evacuating four orangutans named Noval, Nopan, Mamak Novi, and Novi.

The four were then placed in care at the YIARI Rehabilitation Center. They will undergo examination, treatment, rehabilitation and monitoring before determining the next treatment steps.
