Chuma ’ birth was the turning point for a breeding program that for years had failed. His contributions to his species’ survival escalated after U.S. zoos made the difficult but right decision in 2007 to send him to Indonesia to catalyze Sumatra’s struggling breeding program,” said Dr. Terri Roth, Director of Cincinnati Zoo’s Center for Conservation & Research of Endangered Wildlife (CREW) and the scientist whose research led to the births of Chuma and his two siblings. “A few years after his arrival, he sired the first calf ever born at SRS (with female Ratu). That calf, Andatu, is the father of the baby born last week.”
