No concrete proof yet from Indonesia for claim over rescued orangutans: Odisha minister

No concrete proof yet from Indonesia for claim over rescued orangutans: Odisha minister

What's behind this

The Odisha Forest Minister, Ganesh Ram Singh Khuntia, said that neither Indonesia nor any other country has so far provided documentary evidence to establish ownership of the five baby orangutans rescued from a forest in Odisha two months ago. He noted that while some countries might try to claim the animals under international wildlife‑trade regulations, they would need to furnish concrete proof that the rescued orangutans originated from their territory, and no such proof has been presented yet.
