Monita's Story

In June 2018, 3-month-old Monita was confiscated from a villager in Pangkoh by our rescue team.

The villager claimed to have found Monita stranded alone in a forested area near a palm oil plantation and had decided to take her home. Monita was held captive for several days, during which time she was treated like a human baby: she was bathed and clothed. Fortunately, despite being so small and delicate, Monita had not sustained any injuries and was in good physical health.
