Koling

$100.00 / year

Sweet little Koling arrived as a small baby. An all too familiar story saw him brought to us from a palm oil plantation. Named after the village next to where he was rescued, this orphan was separated from his mother in a way that most certainly left him distressed and confused. His mother was probably killed. Tiny Koling looks up with those large innocent eyes and appears a little lost, looking for love and care. Luckily Ibu Sopi, his primary caregiver, is there to help him on his way.

Koling was checked and pronounced healthy after arrival at OFI’s Orangutan Care Centre and Quarantine. He has thick, shiny hair, healthy skin and a little pot belly. After the mandatory month-long quarantine period, Koling was brought to his new home, Camp Danielle. This is where the orphan infants live together. Here he will stay for the next stage of his life as he grows and develops the skills he needs to survive in the wild. Already Koling has lost the dazed look he had on arrival and now looks cheerful!

Koling is still too young to be included in the main group, but he doesn’t like to be left alone. As he clings to her, Ibu Sopi carries Koling to the playground. He has gotten to grips with the netting hung across it. He is an orange ball of fuzz as he rolls around. He enjoys hanging, sitting, and walking from one end of the net to the other.
