A Thai wildlife official carries an orangutan to a cage to be repatriated to Indonesia, at a wildlife protection centre in Ratchaburi province, about 125 km (80 miles) west of Bangkok, November 21, 2006. Nearly 50 smuggled orangutan rescued from a Thai amusement park began the long trip home to their native Indonesia on Tuesday as one of the world's largest cases of great ape trafficking finally drew to a close.
