Gundul and another orangutan named Joko have been removed from where they were and are on their way to an appropriate facility and will be appropriately cared for by the proper authorities including BOSF (Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation)! A vet examined Gundul and estimates she is somewhere around 12-13 years old. Joko is about 5-6. The story of their rescue is here:
