Monti the rescued baby orangutan

Monti arrived at our orangutan emergency centre on 30 November 2009 after we had been looking for her for several days. Some one had told the forestry officers that a family had a young orangutan. They said some rural people had found her all alone in the jungle and that they had been taking care of her ever since. But we know the reality is that somebody must have killed her mother first to get to the baby.

Here, Monti enjoys playing at our baby school.
