AN AMAZING ENCOUNTER WITH SVENJA
Our PRM team in the Hiran watershed of TNBBBR conducts phenology surveys and unexpectedly encountered Svenja.
Dark clouds were hanging low over the Kalimantan’s sky when a black Toyota Kijang Inova with, in the inside, the Deputy Director of Eijkman Molecular Biology Institute (EIJKMAN), Prof. dr. Herawati Sudoyo Ph.D, and her staff, Ms. Wuriyantari Septiadi entered the BOS Foundation at Samboja Lestari. Our vet, Agus Irwanto, welcomed and introduced them to the various orangutan reintroduction facilities at Samboja Lestari.
When looking at the facilities, Ms. Sudoyo was enthusiastic and very impressed with the BOS Foundation’s dedication in caring and maintaining the animals health and condition, both for orangutans and sun bears. She also had the opportunity to photograph orangutans and the landscape at Samboja Lestari.
After took the time visiting Samboja Lodge, a lodging facility at Samboja Lestari, Ms. Sudoyo enjoyed sumptuous lunch at Samboja Lestari’s office and chatted with vet Agus. As the rain began to fall, Ms. Sudoyo ended her visit and thanked to the BOS Foundation for such a warm welcome.
