Habitat Affected by Forest and Land Fires, Mama Man and Her Children Evacuated from Resident's Garden

The animals evacuated consisted of 15 orangutans, six pangolins, one proboscis monkey, one lemur and one tenggalung civet.

The operation was carried out together with YIARI and a number of related parties. Apart from patrols, officers follow up on community reports regarding animals affected by fire, loss of habitat cover, or the potential to enter residential areas and residents' gardens.

The Ministry of Forestry considers public reports to have an important role in accelerating the rescue of wild animals. Without information from residents, animals affected by forest and land fires will be more difficult to find and handle.

The public is advised to immediately report the presence of wild animals affected by forest and land fires to officers. Residents are also asked not to catch, feed, move or approach animals without assistance because these actions can endanger humans and animals.

Wildlife rescue does not stop at evacuation. Health conditions, behavior, habitat readiness and technical recommendations will be the basis before animals are returned to nature.
