Kopral urgently needs your support
Since April last year, Kopral lived happily on a sanctuary island until he was suddenly found lethargic on the feeding platform. He had developed extreme tiredness attributed to anaemia - a disease that often occurs in orangutans living in captivity and is caused by a lack of nutrients. Iron, B12 and other vitamins and minerals fortunately helped quickly.
But one misfortune followed another. Kopral injured his right foot - which is particularly tragic for someone with no arms who depends on his feet. In addition, he caught a fungus between his toes. To ease the pain, poor Kopral avoided walking on the balls of his feet, and as a result, his ankle became stiff due to his protective posture and lack of movement.
Please donate today to ensure that we can help Kopral get his mobility back.
"Without intervention, Kopral could develop contracture or stiff muscles in his leg, noticeable by a significant lack of mobility."

Give urgently for Kopral's treatment
So far, he has been walking about, but only by using the back of his foot. To further Kopral's ankle treatment, our veterinary team met with an orthopedic expert to discuss the possible causes of his ankle's poor condition. According to their analysis, without intervention, he could develop contracture or stiff muscles in his leg. This would be noticeable by a significant lack of mobility in muscles, joints, tendons, and ligaments.
Our veterinarians want to do everything possible to help Kopral, but they urgently need your support to continue his treatment. Without healthy feet, our poor Kopral is helpless and may never be able to return to the self-determined island life he enjoyed so much.
Donate now to ensure Kopral is healthy and pain free.
