Rehabilitation Process

Hello, there everyone.

People often say that the government should open more rehabilitation centres for the orang utans. But, do we know anything about rehabilitation in the first place? Well, in this blog post, I would like to give you a brief intro on the rehabilitation process.

The process starts off with the admission process where the orang utans are admitted to the rehabilitation centre. It is something like going to the hospital, you see...

Then, the orang utans will be quarantined for a period of 3-6 months to eliminate the risk of passing on diseases to other orang utans. During this period of time, medical examinations will be carried on them.

The orang utans will be sent to the nursery. Here, they will be thought the necessary skills for survival. The Outward Bound School (Platform A) will then be the place for these animals. This is where the orang utans are given freedom and are encouraged to stand on their own feet. Their natural forest diet is suplemented with milk, minerals, vitamins, and fruits twice a day. This is to ensure that they grow healthy.

Lastly, the orang utans will be sent for their "Survival Training". Sounds scary right? This process actually determines their future. It allows them to be fully independent in the forest. The orang utans in the rehabilitation centres will then live happily ever after ;)
