Hi All,

Some news from the Dream Team who are currently out in Samboja getting the project up to speed!

We are slowly being allowed access to more areas which means we can start to work on and improve the areas the orangutans are kept in. We started in the quarantine area, making hammocks and putting in ropes and tyres and preparing daily food enrichment, but last week we gained permission into an area called “wanariset”, so we have to start looking at what we need to do. Mostly building and installing hammocks and ropes. We also have now been asked to do the same in the holding area for the orangutans in forest school and tidy up and improve the play ground area for the baby orangutans, which should be fun!

In the quarantine area we have already installed several hammocks and puzzle feeders, and it is great to observe the difference, keeping the orangutans entertained and engaged in something."
