Lone Droscher-Nielsen, a project manager for 'The Orangutan Reintroduction 
Project',
helps care for a three-month-old baby orangutan at the Ragunan zoo in Jakarta 
on February
19, 2003. The baby, called Bali, had been shot three times near a remote 
village on
Indonesia's side of Borneo island, but managed to survive and was operated on 
at the zoo.
Droscher-Nielsen said around 50-60 orangutans had been killed, died in 
captivity, sold
locally or smuggled to other parts of Indonesia or perhaps even abroad during 
the last
three to six months. REUTERS/Enny Nuraheni
