The Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation has sent two orangutans that were smuggled from Malaysia in 2017 back to their point of origin – Indonesia.

The primates were quarantined and dewormed before taking their flight back home from Suvarnabhumi Airport on Thursday afternoon.
