Kurkur Rescue

These amazing images show the rescue of a young orangutan by the non-profit International Animal Rescue (IAR). This is the rescue mission where a young orangutan was saved from captivity by conservationists. The five-year-old primate, named Kurkur by his captor, was bound up in a hut in West Borneo when wildlife charities rescued him. Kurkur was discovered by the non-profit International Animal Rescue (IAR) being kept illegally as a pet in Senduruhan Village, Hulu Sungai District, Ketapang, West Borneo. Kurkur's keeper claimed to have found the young primate in the forest while he was out farming and felt sorry for him, so brought him home to keep as a pet.
