Indonesia's only great ape, treated like rubbish.

"Jojo" was chained and living on polluted, muddy land. He is suffering tetanus and almost paralyzed. COP sent the detailed report to Ministry Forestry 3 months ago, but they took no action.

COP took the decision to rescue "Jojo" and other orangutans, only because the Ministry of Forestry, who are legally empowered to conduct rescues, ignored all requests to help these orangutans.
