It is with sadness that we share the passing of Pastor Jacques Maessen

Read about his amazing life at https://masarang.hk/2024/06/27/in-memoriam-pastor-jacques-maessen/

Father Jacques over the years has been helped a lot by the Masarang Hong Kong Society, through the many programs involving schools in Hong Kong. Adrienne Watson, head of Masarang HK, on behalf of the Victoria Shanghai Academy handed over a four wheel double cabin all terrain vehicle which until today has been the main transport for rescued orangutans and project needs for almost ten years now.

Completing the circle of returning confiscated animals to nature is important. Unfortunately not all animals get the joy of roaming / flying free again though read about some that have in our website post.

As thousands of animals before this week Tasikoki handed back the many confiscated animals of many different protected species to the Ministry of Forestry and Environment and supported the transport to their various places of natural occurrence to be returned to the wild.

World Animal Day

On World Animal Day we hope for a much better year for all beings, but this year we ask for help and support for all the wonderful endangered species in the care of the Masarang Foundation, as well as the orangutans at the Sintang Orangutan Centre (SOC).

The image above was taken by Ross Burrough a wonderful photographer and teacher who visited Tasikoki, SOC and the Tulap Sea Turtle Beach project, from where this photograph was taken.

We have had support from a number of groups in Hong Kong to help set up the successful sea turtle projects at Tulap and Temboan beaches. The more endangered turtles that survive, the better, and your support has helped tens of thousands of turtle hatchlings from five species of endangered sea turtles make it to the sea from the two projects over the past 10 years. A big thank you for the support including a Volunteer and Education Centre, Sea Turtle Hatcheries, Sea Walls and Patrols to protect the turtles and the hatcheries. A special thank you to: the Victoria Shanghai Academy, Island and South Island Schools, Hye-Jin and Jonathan Crompton and the Cacao.hk Team.

The Masarang HK team sincerely appreciates the support for all the animals at the projects.
