This live update comes to us from Dr. Raffaella Commitante who runs the OC\/OVAG Workshop for the Orangutan Conservancy.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Day 4<\/p>\n

This was a full day of labs for the OC\/OVAG 2012 participants.\u00a0 A cardiology session , a post mortem session, a bio security session, an ultrasound session, an orthopedic surgery session, and ended with a group discussion on releases of rehabilitant orangutans \u2013 quite a full day.<\/p>\n

Day 5<\/p>\n

The last day of the workshop focused on risk assessment, bio security and welfare issues based on Wednesday\u2019s visit to Zoo Negara and\u00a0 problems faced by rehab centers and wild sites.\u00a0 Participants divided up into groups to work on each issue.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

At the lunch break, participants divided up into groups of three to come up with three words that would describe the OC\/OVAG Workshop.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After lunch we continued working in groups, and then a release video was shown from the latest orangutan release in East Kalimantan, from BOS Samboja Lestari \u2013 Citra, who showed the video, gave a very moving speech about how without the OC\/OVAG workshops, she and the other vets would have never had the courage to stand up to management and delay the release until the vets felt the orangutans were truly ready based on recommendations made by past OC\/OVAG meetings! It really was an amazing tribute to these workshops.\u00a0 Toward the end of the day \u2013 we began to wind down a bit and presented everyone with their OC\/OVAG certificates, gifts were given to Dr Sumita Sugnaseelan\u00a0 and Dr Reuben Sharma of Univerisiti Putra Malaysia for doing such an amazing job hosting this year\u2019s workshop.\u00a0 I received the best gift of all \u2013 I got to keep GAVO, our mascot!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

But our work was still not complete as we worked until 10:58!\u00a0 We discussed the upcoming Indonesian Veterinary Association meeting in October where OC\/OVAG in situ vets will present OC\/OVAG to the Association \u2013 this will make us even stronger as a group if we are recognized by the Association.<\/p>\n

Then it was time for goodbyes and promises to keep in touch and continue to help each other in bringing about effective long term orangutan conservation.<\/p>\n

OC Note:\u00a0 It’s hard to believe that\u00a0our 4th\u00a0OC\/OVAG Workshop has come and gone already.\u00a0 It will not be long before Dr. Commitante and the OC team start planning next year’s gathering of wildlife veterinarians.\u00a0 If you would like to help OC continue this important tradition please visit our how to help <\/a>page.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
