SAMARINDA - Viral video of an orangutan entering a village in Lusan Village, Paser Regency, East Kalimantan. This 'tame' orangutan was accompanied by a man while walking until it became a public spectacle.

The orangutan was then handed over to the East Kalimantan BKSDA. His fate is now better because he was released into the Kutai National Park area.

The East Kalimantan BKSDA officer explained the process of releasing orangutans to their natural habitat.

"We don't know what was going through the orangutan's mind, but from a safe distance we could clearly see that he took a moment to look back at us before moving quickly through the bushes, into the large tree line to enter his new forest "home". within the Kutai National Park area," said the statement via Instagram bksda_kaltim, Wednesday, June 9.

The East Kalimantan BKSDA explained that after going viral on social media, a team was dispatched to save this orangutan.

After undergoing observation and being declared healthy by a veterinarian, the orangutan was released into its natural habitat.

"Hopefully the orangutan will lead a better life in the forest," continued the East Kalimantan BKSDA.
