Sandra lived alone in a concrete enclosure in Buenos Aires for decades. In a landmark decision, she was recognized in Argentinian courts as having some of the same basic rights as her human captors - the right to life, liberty, and freedom from harm. Sandra is the first orangutan in the world granted legal personhood, and was released to the Center for Great Apes sanctuary in Florida. Born in captivity, Sandra is a hybrid mix of Bornean and Sumatran orangutans.
