We are very excited to announce the third birth of 2016 as part of the Tuanan Orangutan Research Project! Our research team was fortunate to see the entire birth of Darwin, Desy’s new son. Danum, Desy’s older offspring, was also present for the birth and quite curious! This is great news given the severity of the fires this past year. Having a research team present year round provides us with the opportunity to witness and record data on such amazing and rare events.
