Thailand will repatriate next week the last three orangutans, smuggled into the country from Indonesia, a senior official from the National Parks, Wildlife, and Plant Conservation Department said today.

 

“We will send the latest group, comprising Nobita and Shizuka, both aged 7, and Brian, aged 4, back to Indonesia next Thursday,” said the department’s director-general, Narin Prathuanchai.

 

The department took custody of the great apes in 2019 and kept them at Khao Zon Wildlife Breeding Station in Ratchaburi province, according to Narin.
