Brooksville, Florida -- Linda Christian of 100 Acre Wood Wildlife Rehabilitation, Inc. has been accepted as part of a 6-person volunteer team to attend a health project excursion to Sumatra, Indonesia on October 3, 2011.

The expedition involves field research data in a remote area with the goal of bringing knowledge of basic science, public health and wildlife conservation to areas dense with Orangutan populations.

Orangutans (translated into English as "Man of the Forest" from Malay and Bahasa Indonesian), which carry 97% same DNA as Humans, are susceptible to microbes and parasites, as are humans.
