Rare animals to be resettled

PALANGKARAYA, Central Kalimantan: Animals which might be
affected by the government's million-hectare agricultural project
in the Kapuas district are to be moved to the Tanjung Puting
National Park, some 500 kilometers southwest of here.

Antara quoted Central Kalimantan police chief Col. Deddi
Ganrijadi as saying on Saturday that the resettlement would be
done in stages to reduce the animals' distress.

Orangutan, bekantan monkeys, mouse-deer, deer and a number of
birds will be relocated. (swe)
