Landslides Impact Orangutan Quarantine and Rehabilitation Center

Orangutan protection, PanEco /

On November 27, 2024 at 1:00 AM several major landslides struck our Orangutan Quarantine and Rehabilitation Center in North Sumatra. These landslides, triggered by exceptionally heavy rainfall, caused extensive damage to key infrastructure, including the main veterinary clinic and multiple orangutan enclosures. Two orangutans have died because of the landslides. All other 39 animals were unharmed and are safe.

Medical help for injured orangutans: the case of Ramo

Orangutan protection, Orangutan story /

In the orangutan Quarantine and Rehabilitation Centre on Sumatra we care for injured animals and orphaned young orangutans. Here we also prepare them for release in the wild, sometimes for many years. The in-house clinic is well equipped to treat all kinds of injuries and diseases in orangutans. Recently, a patient came to us with an unusual and tragic story.

A cross-organisational initiative to protect the Leuser ecosystem

Orangutan protection, Rainforest protection, Sustainable development /

The 2.6-million-hectare Leuser ecosystem is located in the Indonesian provinces of Aceh and North Sumatra. It is one of the largest, still intact, contiguous rainforests in Southeast Asia and the only place in the world where endangered species such as orangutans, rhinos, elephants, and tigers share the same habitat. PanEco has been working here for several years as part of a Landscape Conservation Project with long-standing, trustworthy partners – and with generous support from the Arcus Foundation.

Moving into the Orangutan Haven on Sumatra

Orangutan protection, PanEco, Rainforest protection /

We are about to officially launch a new project that is unique in the world: Our Orangutan Haven will be the new home for orangutans that can no longer be released into the wild due to various impairments. The Haven is also an environmental education centre on the topics of rainforest, orangutans and illegal wildlife trade. The first orangutans are now being relocated from the quarantine and rehabilitation centre on Sumatra to a number of islands in Orangutan Haven.

This is how much the orangutans eat in the quarantine station

Orangutan protection /

There are currently 58 Orangutans living in our rescue and care station on Sumatra. They receive their food delivered to their enclosures throughout the day. On average, the animal keepers give 3 kg of fruit, vegetables and green fodder per animal. The menu is richer than in the wild and orangutans also have favorite foods. When it comes to food, it is also important to optimally prepare the animals for life in the wild.
