Nobita and Shizuka, both 7 years old, and Brian, 5 years old, had been living at a wildlife sanctuary in the western Thai province of Ratchaburi. After the repatriation, there are no more trafficked orangutans currently under the care of Thai authorities, officials said.

7歲的大雄和靜香，以及5歲的布萊恩，一直住在泰國西部叻武里府一個野生動物保護區。官員稱，遣返後，目前泰國當局不再監管任何被販運的猩猩。

The orangutans were transported from the sanctuary to Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi International Airport before being put on a plane to Jakarta. Thai officials said Indonesia covers the cost for transportation and the animals’ health examinations.

這些紅毛猩猩被從保護區運送到曼谷蘇凡納布國際機場，然後被送上飛往雅加達的飛機。泰國官員說，印尼承擔運輸和動物健康檢查的費用。
