An eye opener, well worth an hour of your time.
Bukit Merah Orang Utan Island Foundation的点评
点评:We had a very knowledgeable guide (Mina) who has been working at the sanctuary for 16 years. She took us through the stories of the 4 orangutans we met in some detail and made the place really come alive. I had no idea of the complexities of the animals’ social interactions and the stories blew me away… from trans generational trauma inflicted on the alpha BJ who goes on to abuse his wife & sons; to rejection of Adam (when attempts were made to rewild him) - son of previous Alpha Mike - who refused to eat after bouts of depression & died as a result following the challenge of his alpha status by new arrival BJ. Mina also took us through the trials of being a small scale sanctuary and all that comes with being a charity, the pressure they face to succeed in their tasks. A deeply moving experience.
翻译:我们有一位知识渊博的导游(米娜),她已经在庇护所工作了 16 年。她详细地向我们讲述了我们遇到的 4 只猩猩的故事,让这个地方真正变得生动起来。我以前不知道动物社交互动的复杂性,这些故事让我震惊……从头狼 BJ 遭受的跨代创伤,到他虐待妻子和儿子;再到拒绝亚当(当试图让他重新野化时)——前头狼迈克的儿子——他在抑郁发作后拒绝进食,并在新来的 BJ 挑战他的头狼地位后死亡。米娜还带我们了解了作为一个小规模庇护所的考验,以及作为一个慈善机构所面临的一切,以及他们在完成任务时面临的压力。这是一次令人感动的经历。
