Translocation of King Ghaz - 2001

Original footage from the world's first in helicopter translocation of an orangutan in 2001. The film tells King Ghaz's story from an orphaned orangutan to his translocation to the Tabin reserve in Borneo.
The translocation was funded by Orangutan Appeal UK but was only possible because of the hard work and dedication of the team at Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre and the Sabah Wildlife Department.
Featured in this film are Dr Sen Nathan, Assistant Director of Sabah Wildlife Department, and Susan Sheward MBE, Chairperson & Founder of Orangutan Appeal UK.
