Orangutans are being threatened at one of the world's largest rainforests in Indonesia. The fires in Borneo are a largely man-made phenomenon to grow a valuable cash-crop, but it’s putting the endangered animal at risk.
“They go in the field, they rescue the animals, they do the medical check. And eventually they train the animals for a few years to put them back in the wild,” Schroeder said.
The rescue team drove 12 hours to go back to the hospital for medical care. On the way, the baby died. Brenda, a baby orangutan, was confiscated from a villager in Blang Pidie, Indonesia. Her left arm had been snapped in two.
