NewzThe Natural Resources Conservation Agency (BKSDA) of West Kalimantan has relocated eight Bornean orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus) to the Batu Nyambu area. The relocation was necessitated after the primates lost their natural habitat due to ongoing forest and land fires in the region.
This intervention highlights the impact of seasonal forest fires on protected wildlife populations in Kalimantan. By moving the orangutans to a new location, authorities aim to ensure their survival following the destruction of their original forest environment.
