In Lamandau Wildlife Reserve last year, Amina gave birth to Asma. Amina’s own mother, Acuy, an ex-captive orangutan, also gave birth again last year. It’s wonderful to see new generations being born in the wild from re-introduced individuals - thanks to the Orangutan Foundation. tinyurl.com/2xcrnaje

Orangutans are peaceful beings. Rather than seeking conflict, they respect one another’s space. Adult males use long calls to avoid confrontation. Even when 2 males meet they avoid aggression wherever possible, instead exchanging warning gestures. We humans can learn so much from these gentle souls.

Today is #NationalChocolateCakeDay! While cake isn’t something #orangutans would ever eat, did you know it can actually help save them?

Arto chose self-care today at Jungle School, covering himself in mud!

A big virtual kiss from little Jarang for #KissAGingerDay! 😘 But remember, humans should never actually kiss #orangutans in real life.

#NationalCuddleUpDay On Gatot’s first day at @intanimalrescue.bsky.social’s baby school, he was very frightened and cried a lot. Jamila, a young female #orangutan, comforted him with a cuddle.

Who will you call today? 🧡
