Temara is set to become the first zoo-born Sumatran orang-utan to be released into the wild in a bid to refresh the gene pool. The species ? one of our closest biological relatives ? is teetering on the edge of extinction. The transfer will be to the Bukit Tigapuluh National Park in South Sumatra. There are only around 50 orang-utans in the park which has the capacity to take 1,000. The transmigration of 14-year old Temara is an exercise fraught with hazards. Will her hard-wired ancient instincts return to help her adjust to an alien environment where she?ll be battling on her own? Or will she mope, fret and die far from her Western comforts?

Orangutan. Konsumsi manusia yang telah lelah menjadi manusia. Rehabilitasi dan reintroduksi. Hanya basa-basi agar keping dollar mengalir. Etalase pertunjukan di kebun binatang negara penyumbang keping dollar. Menguasai kawasan tanah negeri. Menggusur komunitas lokal. Mematikan sumber kehidupan anak negeri. Demi seekor orangutan.

Orangutan. Obyek penelitian farmasi. Dikorbankan demi nafsu industri pengobatan. Kubur massal terpapar di sela tumbuhan bambu kuning. Paten bagi asing. Hepatitis dan orangutan bagai keping mata uang. Tak terpisahkan. Penyakit yang sengaja disebarkan oleh peneliti. Agar keping dollar memuaskan dahaga.

Orangutan. Rumahnya tak lagi pepohonan. Apartemen beton bertingkat dua puluh sembilan. Berlantaikan bongkahan emas hitam. Kolam besar terpapar menjadi penyejuk jiwa. Taman sawit di etalase dapur.

tak penting transmigrasi orangutan !
