ORANGUTAN CONSERVANCY VETERINARY WORKSHOP |
| August 5, 2009 - August 9, 2009 |
| Location: | East Kalimantan, Indonesia |
| Sponsor: | Orangutan Conservancy |
| Focus: | The workshop will bring together veterinarians and health technicians who care for orphaned orangutans in Sumatra and Borneo for a week of intensive training, seminars, and practical sessions.
More than 1,500 orangutans currently exist in rehabilitation centers, and many bear the physical and emotional scars of their capture. The OC Veterinary Workshop will address many of the injuries and illnesses that are unique to orphaned orangutans.
The OC Veterinary Workshop will be staged in collaboration with zoos in Europe and the United States and other OC partners in the Orangutan Crisis Coalition.
The OC Veterinary Workshop will also address emerging infectious diseases, and the health standards necessary to consider reintroducing any of the orangutans back into the wild.
The OC Veterinary Workshop is modeled after a successful series of veterinary workshops for African primates that Rosen helped create through the Pan African Sanctuary Alliance (PASA). Steve Unwin, a veterinary officer at the Chester Zoo in the United Kingdom, will lead the OC workshop. |
