COP regularly visits orangutans held in zoos and sometimes kept by private individuals.
To us, every orangutan matters, deserving of our respect and help. It is normal for us to discover orangutans in zoos held in the most terrible metal and/or concrete cages, deprived of water and proper food; we provide both. When we find zoo management receptive to advice we also show their staff how to provide enrichment for the orangutans, the food they should give them, etc.
Here are just a few of the dozens of orangutans we have helped, but there are many more and we have a lot of work to do in ensuring captive orangutans receive better care and attention. Please let us know if you would like to help us with this particular work by emailing orangutanborneo@mac.com
