The Governor was very supportive verbally but followed through with no real action. It doesn't matter that much now because he will be leaving his office soon and not seeking a second term. His decision to retire from his post probably had something to do with members of his family, who are also in government, having been accused of much corruption. We hope the new Governor will be more action oriented than the current one when it comes to helping wild orangutan populations, forests, and even local Dayak people and culture.

You are such a vital part of the orangutan's future that I can't help but feel they will be okay. I really enjoyed hearing about Jakarta and seeing your pictures. Thanks for sharing your experiences!
