Saving Orangutans 17
Preparation for a release. Asha, a 20-year-old female, arrived 2 years ago (2017) in critical condition with a broken right hand, a fractured hip and gangrene of the left hand from being beaten, leaving her thumb nonfunctional. She is going for a medical check before her release in Jantho. As rain falls, a team member shelters her with a giant leaf.
