A non-profit organisation in Indonesia is preparing baby orangutans for life in the wild by teaching them survival skills such as awareness of dangerous snakes, how to climb trees, build nests and forage for food.
Thousands of orangutans are displaced from their forest homes or killed every year because of mass deforestation, rampant forest fires, poaching for consumption and the illegal pet trade.
The NGO, Borneo Orangutan Survival (BOS) Foundation steps in to rescue any apes that survive their trauma or are reported as captive.
