Foster Karbank
Karbank may seem a little shy when he first leaves his night enclosure and is taken out into the forest, letting go of his caretaker’s hand in a hesitating manner. Surprisingly, when he was first brought to the Care Center, he was not at all interested in human contact and seemed very “wild.” However, as soon as Karbank reaches the first trees, he boldly takes off to explore.
Foster Krista
Krista’s arrival at OFI’s Care Center is unique – she was born there. Sadly, Krista’s mother rejected her shortly after birth. Ever since Krista has been raised among other orangutans similar in age. She has a beautiful, benign face that can make you turn your head and an equally captivating personality.
Foster Cory Marder
Little Cory came from a palm oil plantation not far from one of OFI’s protected forests. With her pursed lips and big, surprised-looking eyes, it is hard not to melt when you see her. Cory Marder is an affectionate and adventuresome orangutan.
Foster Bayat
Bayat came into OFI’s care when she was only a few months old. With her quirky personality, Bayat is an incredibly endearing orangutan.
Foster Trudeau
Trudeau is a little orangutan with a big personality! Trudeau instantly charms everyone he meets, both humans and orangutans alike. This little orangutan is charismatic and handsome!
Foster Benjamine
Benjamine approaches life with wide-eyed enthusiasm, meandering across the forest like a raindrop drifting down a windowpane. She seems to suffer from the affliction FOMO (fear of missing out) so she is always drawn to where the action is, be it in the playground or the surrounding forest.
Foster Proudfoot
Most of the orphaned orangutans who arrive at the Orangutan Care Center and Quarantine (OCCQ) are at first shy and bewildered. It takes time for the caregivers to earn their trust and to give the newly arrived orangutan orphans their self-esteem back. Not so with Proudfoot. Despite the circumstances in which she arrived at the care center as a recently orphaned infant, Proudfoot was and is a healthy orangutan developing apace.
Foster Crystal
The end of 2019 closed the door on one year but saw OFI’s Orangutan Care Center and Quarantine (OCCQ) in Central Borneo open its doors to a new arrival. Meet Crystal, an orphaned female orangutan who was rescued and brought to the OCCQ when she was barely a year old. With a thick head of hair and a face full of attitude, it didn’t take long for Crystal to make an impression.
