Illegal wildlife trade: Thailand saves three orangutans and sends them back to Indonesia

JAKARTA (Bernama): Seven-year-old orangutans, Nobita and Shizuka, and four-year-old Brian, another Sumatran orangutan, were repatriated from Thailand to Indonesia, their native country during the weekend.

The Sumatran orangutan, also known as Pongo abelii, Nobita, and Shizuka, is the species of orangutan that the Thai police rescued in 2016 during an operation against the illicit wildlife trade in Thailand.
