Freeki and 12 baby's were about to be smuggled from Sumatra to Java by boat.

At that very moment, JAAN’s sniffer dog team was present in the port of South Sumatra and the dogs detected the hidden monkeys.

Together with the authorities, JAAN confiscated the animals, and they are now being cared for at the Sumatra Wildlife Center. Sadly, three baby's did not survive the appalling circumstances they had endured...

The 10 remaining monkeys still have a chance to survive and have been receiving intensive, round-the-clock care at JAAN's Sumatra Wildlife Center

They were only six weeks old and deeply traumatized by everything they have experienced in such a short time. At this age, baby monkeys would normally cling to their mothers,who were most likely shot and killed by poachers. The infants were then torn from their mothers’ lifeless bodies and, without care, food, or water, crammed into crates and transported over long distances.

About JAAN Indonesia

JAAN (Jakarta Animal Aid Network) was founded in the Netherlands in 2004 by a group of Dutch animal welfare advocates determined to make a difference for wildlife in Indonesia.

The organisation formally registered in Indonesia in 2008 and has since grown into a team of over 80 local professionals running rescue, rehabilitation and release programs across Indonesia. In the Netherlands, Stichting JAAN Nederland handles fundraising and holds ANBI charity status, meaning Dutch donors can benefit from tax deductions on their gifts. JAAN operates entirely on donations and receives no government funding. Every euro goes directly to the animals.

Seven JAAN team members are standing next to each other and pose for a group picture. There is also one K9 sniffer dog.
