This is Kesi, an orphaned orangutan who found sanctuary at Nyaru Menteng. She lost her left hand whilst clinging on to her mother who was being macheted to death by palm oil plantation workers. Though disabled, with the love and dedication of staff, Kesi is now an excellent tree climber and nest builder and a wonderful role model for newly arriving orangutan orphans.
Though their world is shrinking and the orangutans are having to endure cruelty and trauma, there is still hope left. We can stop this inhumane treatment, if we stand together and act now.
