This is not AI, we promise!!
Our partners, YIARI, have captured an incredible moment in the forests of Bukit Baka Bukit Raya National Park. Filmed in December, the footage shows Muria and her wild-born son, Bumi, sheltering from the rain, with Muria using a giant leaf to protect them both.
It’s a gentle reminder of how intelligent and resourceful orangutans are, and just how similar they are to us.
Muria was rescued by BKSDA and brought to our partners, YIARI, where she spent more than seven years in rehabilitation before being released back into the wild in 2019. Three years later she gave birth to Bumi, one of several wild-born infants now thriving in the forests thanks to these vital conservation efforts.
Seeing Muria and Bumi safe, healthy and living freely is a powerful symbol of hope, and proof that rescue and rehabilitation truly can restore lives and protect a species.
