The primate playground - a new home for Chester Zoo's Sumatran orangutans and silvery gibbons - features a huge outdoor area
Chester Zoo unveils new home for endangered primates, Chester, Cheshire, Britain - 24 Jan 2016
FULL COPY: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/rvcr
Chester Zoo has unveiled a new home for some of the world?s most endangered primates.
The (3,607m sq) exhibit, part of 'Islands', the UK?s biggest ever zoological development, has been designed by the zoo?s primate keepers, conservationists and specialist architects from Germany. It is the new playground for the zoo?s group of seven Sumatran orangutans and three silvery gibbons ? including a 12-day-old newborn.
Conservation experts estimate that fewer than 6,500 Sumatran orangutans and less than 4,500 silvery gibbons are left in the wild. The zoo hopes the new area will put a major spotlight on issues such as habitat destruction, a threat which is pushing both species to the very edge of extinction.

Indonesian Sumatran orangutans released into the wild
Officers Sumatran Orangutan Conservation Programme (SOCP) put the Sumatran orangutan on a basket which is prepared to be released into the wild at a rehabilitation center, in Sibolangit, North Sumatra, Indonesia on July 10, 2015. Forty eight-year-old orangutan in which they had been kept as a pet illegally were rescued from oil palm plantations reintroduced again in the national park in order to maintain continuity. The rise of land conversion in Indonesia led to the existence of a population of orangutans in Borneo and Sumatra island is increasingly under threat from habitat loss, illegal logging, fires and poaching. Conservationists predicted that without immediate action, orangutans are likely to become the first great ape extinction in the wild.

Orangutan charity have called baby apes Will and Kate and hope they will one day meet to mate - 07 Feb 2013

Baby Apes Named Will and Kate After Royal Visit
Baby Apes Named Will and Kate After Royal Visit
Two orangutans have been called Will and Kate in honour of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge after their visit to Borneo last year.
A twist to this charming story is that even though the two apes haven't yet met, it is hoped they will when they are released in to the same protected rainforest.
And like their Royal namesakes their rescuers hope they will start a love story of their own.
The orangutans were each born on a different one of the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation's (BOSF) pre-release islands near the Nyaru Menteng Rescue and Reintroduction Centre in the Indonesian part of Borneo.
William aged three lives with his mother, Zena on Hampapak Island and Kate lives on Palas Island with her mum, Kitty.
On these pre-release islands, Zena and Kitty are going through the final stages of the BOS Foundation's rehabilitation programme, to ensure that they're completely able to fend for themselves, and their offspring, back in the wild.
Cared for by the BOSF with the help of funding from British charity, Orangutan Protection Foundation (OPF) - one day soon they'll all be released into a protected area of rainforest, to live completely wild and free.
William spends his days happily following his mother around his island home, learning which forest fruits are the best and tastiest and scouring cracks in the bark for termites - a great delicacy.
His mother has also been teaching him how to climb trees, how to build a nest and how to avoid the dangers which occur naturally in the forest.
In the same way, Kate - who's nearly four years old - has kept close to her mother, watching w...

Orangutans released into the wild, Indonesia - 14 Aug 2012

Abam peering out of his cage after being released by Veterinarian Meriam. Abam quickly ran out and climbed the nearest tree as high as he could and immediately constructed a nest.
Orangutan Takes First Steps To Freedom
In these heart-warming images a young, male orangutan takes its first steps into the wild - claiming back its freedom after years of being kept as an illegal pet by oil palm plantation workers.
The orangutan called Abam is nine-years-old and was released into Bukit Batikap Conservation Forest earlier this month by his rescuers and carers from Borneo Orangutan Survival (BOS) Foundation.
The release team claim it only took him seconds to adjust to his new surroundings as he bounded out of his cage climbing the nearest tree to build a nest.
Abam was rescued by BOS Foundation in 2007 when he was four-years-old. He had badly injured hands and was taken to Nyaru Menteng rehabilitation centre in the Indonesian part of Borneo to be treated. Sadly he had to have his knuckles amputated from three of his fingers on his left hand, as well as his middle finger and ring finger on his right hand.
Seven other orangutans were also released alongside Abam, including Sempung who was rescued in 2005 from a rubber plantation owned by the local community in central Kalimantan; Sumbing, Jessica, Mama Ebol and her baby who were rescued from oil palm plantations were also released.
As well as Maradona who was confiscated from villagers in 2006 and needed intensive medical care after being tied up tightly with ropes causing serious injuries on his arms; Onceng who was rescued from a local community in 2011, the villagers had her trapped in a wooden cage for two months. They claimed to have let her out once but because she had climbed a tree and made a nest she was never let out again.

Sadly he had to have his knuckles amputated from three of his fingers on his left hand, as well as his middle finger and ring finger on his right hand.
Seven other orangutans were also released alongside Abam, including Sempung who was rescued in 2005 from a rubber plantation owned by the local community in central Kalimantan; Sumbing, Jessica, Mama Ebol and her baby who were rescued from oil palm plantations were also released.
As well as Maradona who was confiscated from villagers in 2006 and needed intensive medical care after being tied up tightly with ropes causing serious injuries on his arms; Onceng who was rescued from a local community in 2011, the villagers had her trapped in a wooden cage for two months. They claimed to have let her out once but because she had climbed a tree and made a nest she was never let out again.

Orangutan Takes First Steps To Freedom
In these heart-warming images a young, male orangutan takes its first steps into the wild - claiming back its freedom after years of being kept as an illegal pet by oil palm plantation workers.
The orangutan called Abam is nine-years-old and was released into Bukit Batikap Conservation Forest earlier this month by his rescuers and carers from Borneo Orangutan Survival (BOS) Foundation.
The release team claim it only took him seconds to adjust to his new surroundings as he bounded out of his cage climbing the nearest tree to build a nest.
Abam was rescued by BOS Foundation in 2007 when he was four-years-old. He had badly injured hands and was taken to Nyaru Menteng rehabilitation centre in the Indonesian part of Borneo to be treated. Sadly he had to have his knuckles amputated from three of his fingers on his left hand, as well as his middle finger and ring finger on his right hand.
Seven other orangutans were also released alongside Abam, including Sempung who was rescued in 2005 from a rubber plantation owned by the local community in central Kalimantan; Sumbing, Jessica, Mama Ebol and her baby who were rescued from oil palm plantations were also released.

Following the outcry of the mistreatment of orangutans at Malaysia's Melaka Zoo a book concentrates upon a small pro-active group of ape crusaders who are at the forefront of protecting orangutans.
The Ape Crusaders by Sean Whyte, who was instrumental in highlighting the conditions in the South-East Asian zoo takes the reader on an unrestrained photographic journey throughout Borneo showing for the first time the highs and lows of frontline orangutan conservation in action.
There have been 125,000 protected orangutans killed, captured or sold into the illegal wildlife trade over the past 40 years without a single prosecution.
Through no fault of its own the orangutan human's closest living relatives, will possibly become the first of the four remaining great apes to become extinct.
The Centre for Orangutan Protection (COP) started in 2007 and in less than four years has saved thousands of hectares of forest and rescued dozens of orangutans.

Making way for new oil palm plantations. The ownership of palm oil companies is worldwide, but Malaysian companies are very prevalent in Indonesia while at the same time trying to look good in the media by claiming not to be causing deforestation in their own country.
