Posted on 17:58 March 04th, 2021

Pada Rabu, 03 Maret 2021, Balai otoritas satwa liar (BBKSDA SU SKW-IV) bersama dengan SCORPION mengevakuasi seekor bayi monyet ekor pendek (Macaca nemestrina) di Desa Sibuntuon, Kecamatan Sijama Polang, Kabupaten Humbang Hansudutan, Sumatera.

Kegiatan evakuasi ini dilakukan atas untuk merespon aduan masyarakat lokal yang mencurigai adanya seseorang yang menyimpan satwa yang kemungkinan mirip dengan Gibbon, jenis satwa dilindungi. Setelah proses evakuasi selesai, BBKSDA menitipkan monyet tersebut kepada SCORPION agar dibawa ke Medan untuk direhabilitasi.

Monyet tersebut, kemudian diberi nama Hornop, merupakan korban dari aktivitas perburuan yang mana induknya telah dibunuh dan dikonsumsi.
