The Only Known Albino Orangutan Is Thriving After Two Years Of Being Released To The Wild

Many primates, including orangutans, have been put in grave danger due to habitat loss and illegal poaching. Their population has shrunk at the fastest pace in history, and we are responsible for protecting them and helping them to thrive again.

It’s great to know that Alba, the only albino orangutan in the world, enjoys her happy life after being released in 2019. When the conservationists came to Indonesia’s Bukit Baka Bukit Raya National Park to introduce three other orangutans into the wild, they had an unexpected encounter with Alba, an albino ape with bright blue eyes and pale fur.
