At the end of April Francesco Nardelli and I made arrangements to transport Meranti to Port Lympne and Rokan to Surabaya Zoo in Java. These animals had for different reasons remained in the base camp for around nine months. Rokan prior to his capture had fallen victim to a poachers' snare on his right foreleg, and the ensuing complications took this long to resolve. He departed on his week-long trip by lorry and ferry, in good health, with his leg completely healed and normal in appearance save for the permanent scarring caused by the snare.
