ORANG-UTANS' JUNGLE SCHOOL
/ by Oka Budhi. Orang-utans in Borneo have lost 80 percent of their habitat over the last twenty years, and caught between deforestation and poaching, they have become one of the most endangered great apes, with some predicting total extinction in the wild in the next ten years. The Borneo Orang-utan Survival foundation, dedicated to the conservation of orang-utans and their habitat through the involvement of local people, is running since 1996 a “jungle school” to rescue and rehabilitate orphaned orang-utan infants, before returning them to safe forests. The project has become the largest primate rescue in the world with more than 500 “people of the forest” in its care. OnAsia photographer Oka Budhi toured the school.
