HELP BABY BAGUS

Donation protected
Baby BAGUS needs our help. BAGUS the baby orangutan is about 2yrs old. He recently was confiscated from his ‘owner’ as it is illegal to keep an orang-utan as a pet in Indonesia although many people do. We can only rescue the one’s we get told about or come across in our travels. Indonesia is a huge place with 1,000's of islands large & small and there would be 100’s of these ‘pet’ orangutans kept in horrid conditions and most malnourished.  So at some stage baby BAGUS’S Mum would have been slaughtered and baby BAGUS taken from her mother's body and sold on the illegal wildlife trade



We need to build a Baby Nursery House at COP Borneo to be able to receive the many baby orangutans who need rescuing often. Baby orangutans need their own area and can’t go in with older juveniles or adult orangutans as they are way to small and need 24hrs care. A baby orangutan ususally clings to it's Mum for the first 3 to 4yrs of life and then stays with her close by a further 3yrs. Currently baby BAGUS is sitting in a barren cage at a local Ministry Office and will remain there until we have room at COP Borneo to transfer him.

Once we have room at COP Borneo baby BAGUS can be transferred to the new centre where she will get all the care she requires and be rehabilitated to one day go back to the wild and have her own babies.

There was also another baby orang-utan called NJOTO who we think was recently stolen from his Mum at the time of her murder. NJOTO is very wild and not use to humans, he panics if humans go near his cage. He was also in desperate need of COP’s love & care and rehabilitation as he too was in a small, barren cage at the same Ministry Office outside by himself.  When it rained it becomes a lake underneath their cages, this is so bad for their health, not only because of all the germs that the water would contain but the risk of mosquito born diseases and constant damp conditions.





We recently gave BAGUS a health check and have discovered that she has Hepatitis so BAGUS will need to be kept separate from any other baby orangutans who do not already have Hepatitis when she comes to COP Borneo. So even more reason to build a special space for her. Good news for NJOTO though as we have now transferred him to COP Borneo, he has good health and no diseases which is great.

BAGUS & NYATA
 will not be the last baby orangutans who require The Centre for Orangutan Protections’s help and who need sanctuary, so we need to urgently build a Baby Nursery House at this new developing COP  Borneo centre so that BAGUS & NYATA and any others we find can move out of their current barren cages as soon as possible and into proper 24hr nurturing & care.


We are still currently building the COP Borneo Rescue & Rehab Centre/Sanctuary but are only one third built and have 14 orangutans who have been transferred there already with no room for more until we raise more funds and can expand.  



In the last 15 months we have been building this new orangutan & wildlife rescue & rehabilitation centre in the region of North East Kaimantan, Indonesian Borneo called COP Borneo because there is nothing in that region which can take in orangutans and other rescued wildlife. Even though we are still in development the wildlife situation is so dire that we hear of and come across many animals needing our help but until we can develop the centre further they all have to stay in the miserable conditions they are currently in. We have permission to develop a centre care for up to 50 orangutans & other animals who have been victims of the palm oil industry, illegal logging, coal mining, the illegal wildlife trade & poaching.

So unfortunately BAGUS will stay in these unhygenic & unenriched cages at the Govt. offices until we can raise funds to build a proper Baby Nursery House with proper quarantine unlesswe can come up with another plan.
PLEASE HELP US TO BUILD A BABY NURSERY HOUSE at COP Borneo so we can move BAGUS in.

The COP BORNEO Orangutan & Wildlife Rescue & Rehabilitation Centre is currently being built & managed by The Centre For Orangutan Protection  & the funds are being raised by With Compassion & Soul
You can also adopt one of the beautiful COP Borneo Orangutans or soon MOMO the baby Sun Bear who will move to this new centre soon by clicking here ADOPT
