THOUSANDS EVACUATED. An eruption from Mount Ruang volcano is seen from Tagulandang island in Sitaro, North Sulawesi, on Tuesday. The spread of volcanic ash, which has reached Malaysia, forced seven airports to close, the biggest in provincial capital Manado and the city of Gorontalo, according to a notice from state-run air traffic control provider AirNav Indonesia.
But while locals have fled, a team of volunteers travelled to Ruang by boat on daring rescue missions to save abandoned pets from the foot of the volcano that remains at its highest alert level. Laurent, the owner of two animal shelters in North Sulawesi province capital Manado, is one of eight volunteers who have made the six-hour ferry journey several times to Ruang’s neighboring Tagulandang island following the eruptions.On one of their missions to the island’s ash-covered homes, they retrieved an unnamed pup, a white cat, and a bright turquoise-and-white tropical bird.
