Tapanoli Aurangotan is the most dangerous monkey in the world. Less than 800 remains, before it was thought that he was in his native Indonesia. But now an Indian zoo says it has one.

An Indian court on Monday cleared the 3,500 acres of forest life, which included illegal pursuit of animals and financial wrongdoing, known as Wantara.

But this decision is unlikely that Ventara, which describes itself as a center of wildlife and protection, has stored its walls.

Ventara, who is the son of Asia’s richest man, is under the control of Anant Ambani, says it has 150,000 animals of 2,000 species, which are much higher than the population in famous zoos in New York, London or Berlin.

The AFP spoke to seven experts about protection and wildlife trade to understand the concerns about Ventra.

Many people refused to speak on the record, citing former Vantara’s legal proceedings against critics.

He described the collection of Wantara as unprecedented.

“We have never seen anything on this scale,” said a longtime protection expert from the Wildlife Protection Group.

“It is staring for animals from all over the world.”

According to the request for convenience to the Central Zoo Authority in India, some of them are more noteworthy than others, such as single Tapanoli, which reached between 2023 and 2024.

Surge Wich, a specialist at Liverpool Jan Morez University, said that only in 2017 was officially described, Tapanols are incredibly rare.

They are limited to a small range in Indonesia due to the threats, including mining and forest harvesting, and are in the “Dior Strait”.

‘Surprised and shocked’

Wild animals and plants (CITE) are forbidden to trade the world’s highest risk species through an international trade convention in the risk of international trade.

But there are exceptions, including those born in prison for “captive” animal-related parents.

Tapanoli is the only reference to Aurangotan that is ever transmitted internationally.

He left Indonesia in 2023, bound for the United Arab Emirates, where Wantara says his tapanoli has arrived.

The transfer record describes the animal as a “prisoner race”.

However, many experts said the details were incomprehensible.

“There are no detainees for the Aurangotites in Indonesia,” said Panut Hoodesvio, the founder and chairman of the Aurangotan Information Center in Indonesia.

He said that only a handful of restoration facilities in Indonesia are known in prison.

For more than two decades, a reservoir, Panot, said he was “surprised and surprised and” surprised and surprised at Wantara’s Tapanoli Aurangotan learning from AFP. “

“We do everything to protect them,” he said. “So it’s really, really disturbing information.”

There is no information about where the animals originated in Indonesia. Authorities did not respond to the request to comment.

Experts say that it is possible that Aurangotin is not a tapoli at all. They look enough like Borne and Somethen Aurangitinis that DNA testing will be needed for verification.

It may also be a mixture of Tapanoli and another species, which was probably discovered in its collection through the zoo – though experts questioned why a facility would leave such a rare animal.

“It is almost inevitable that it will have to be illegal”, “said Eric Majard, a security specialist in Aurangotan, said Eric Majard.

“It would be very sad.”

‘Pure nonsense’

Wantara did not respond to a request to comment on Aurangotan and comment on how to get animals.

Tapanoli Wantara is not the first extreme dangerous animal.

A dynamic blue species from Brazil, Macau, was recently disappeared in the wild.

Brazil has tried to stop all bird trade and transfer.

According to the documents submitted to the CITES, it allowed something to get a boost in Germany.

Nevertheless, in 2023, Macau Ventara, 26 from the German facility, arrived in Ventara.

“It is working to ensure that these rare birds’ calls are never lost in their home residence,” says Ventara.

The case has ranked Brazil, which has repeatedly raised it in CITES meetings.

When asked about Wantara’s Tapanoli, the CITES Secretariat told AFP that “the matter is under consideration”, adding that it was “not in a position to provide information”.

In public documents, the CITES has confessed to receiving “numerous reports” about the import of dangerous animals in India.

The Secretariat said that India has said it will invite CITES officials to visit, but it has not yet provided “detailed information on the matter”.

If Ventara owns the same Tapanoli Aurangotan, its protection will be limited, which emphasizes the return of animals to Indonesia.

For the Majards, Protection of their natural residence in Indonesia provides “the only opportunity for the survival of the species”.

“Trying to raise the Aurangitinis outside Indonesia with some long -term hope that they are going to contribute to the population is just pure nonsense.”
