Three questions for Rosa

What motivates you to work for the Sumatra Conservation Project?

Protecting nature—my home—has always been my dream job and remains so today. For me, it is simply the right thing to do.

What has been an unforgettable moment in your project?

Rescuing isolated orangutans from distress and returning them to the habitat where they belong is incredibly fulfilling, even though the journey in between is not always easy.

What is your greatest wish for your project?

I hope that we never stop improving our work and that we can inspire more and more people to join us.
