Wildlife rescue workers have been hard at work in Indonesia after an investigation following reports from local residents of an orangutan being held captive by a farmer in the Sebomban River area in February. Keeping orangutans is illegal in the region, so the Wildlife Rescue Unit (WRU) of the Natural Resources Conservation Agency (BKSDA) and International Animal Rescue (IAR) stepped in to rescue the young animal. Named Bomban after the area where he was recovered, the baby orangutan had been locked inside a small cage measuring just 50 by 40 centimeters (15 by 20 inches). It’s thought the baby orangutan had been captive here for three months prior to the rescue team s arrival, who approached the farmer and successfully freed Bomban from his cage.
