Masih ingat tentang berita kebakaran hutan di Kalimantan tahun 2015 lalu?
Ketika mendengar berita kebakaran hutan, rasanya aku jadi kebakaran jenggot gara-gara waktu itu belum kesampaian melihat orangutan di Taman Nasional Tanjung Puting. Melihat orangutan langsung di habitatnya di Kalimantan merupakan salah satu bucket list ku sejak bercita-cita ingin jadi dokter hewan setelah lulus SMA (walaupun tidak terwujud, hiks...).
Do you still remember about forest fires in
Kalimantan on 2015?
When I heard about it, I felt like I got fire on my pants, because I still haven’t see orangutan in Tanjung Puting National Park. Seeing orangutan directly at their habitat in Kalimantan was one of my bucket list since I dream to become a veterinarian after graduated from senior high school (even I can’t make it though, sob..).

And at last!! Aku mendapat kesempatan berkunjung ke Taman Nasional Tanjung Puting pada Juni 2016 lalu. Yeeeaaay! Feels like dreams come true! Seneng banget rasanya. Sejak mulai naik pesawat dari Cengkareng juga udah excited banget. Padahal mah orang lain mikirnya: "Idih, ngapain jauh-jauh ke Kalimantan cuma buat liat orangutan doang" atau "mendingan mah lo ke Derawan aja deh, pantainya bagus banget."
And at last!! I got a chance to visit Tanjung Puting
National Park on last June 2016. Yaaaaay! Feels like dreams come true! I was so
happy. Since I take the flight from Cengkareng, I can’t keep any excitement
inside anymore. Though lots of people think: “Why should you go to Kalimantan just
to see orangutan?” or “Don’t you think it’s better to change destination to
Derawan, it’s famous of it’s beautiful beaches.”
Hmm.. Sayang sekali, aku berbeda dengan kalian manusia biasa yang sangat mainstream (ups). Bukannya gak suka pantai pasir putih yang airnya bening, tapi tahukah kamu bahwa orangutan Kalimantan, salah satu fauna warisan alam nusantara kita, sudah masuk status konservasi critically endangered alias terancam oleh IUCN sejak tahun 1994? Gakuku rasanya kalo bayangin orangutan punah, pengen nangis. Apalagi kalo gak sempet lihat langsung di habitatnya. Makanya pas bulan lalu ada waktu, aku gak pikir panjang langsung booking tiket dan terbang melewati deretan awan putih dari Jawa ke Kalimantan.
Hmm… Fortunately I was born different with all of you guys mainstream common people (oops). It doesn’t mean I don’t like white sandy beach with crystal clear water, but don’t you know that orangutan in Kalimantan is one of our country’s natural heritage animal, and already have conservation status as critically endangered by IUCN since 1994? I really can't imagine orangutan getting extinct. Moreover if I haven't see them in their habitat directly. That's why when I got the chance last month, I don't think too much just bought the ticket and flew through white puffy clouds from Java to Kalimantan.
