The current forest fires, and the threat of a super El Niño, are a terrifying warning of what could happen next. There is a very real risk of the fires of 2015 and 2019 being repeated, or even getting worse. Please donate via LINK IN CHANNEL BIO!

In 2018, our partners, YIARI, and BKSDA West Kalimantan carried out a joint rescue operation to save a mother orangutan and her baby after the destruction caused by the 2015 fires forced them from their forest home. The rainforest around them had been reduced to ash and fragmented beyond survival. With nowhere safe to go and little left to eat, they kept moving in search of food.

Hungry, frightened, and exhausted, they ended up in a village where conflict with people was a real danger. When the rescue team found them, the mother was still clinging tightly to her baby.

This is what forest fires do. They do not just destroy habitat. They push orangutans into hunger, danger, and conflict.

Fires are already starting to spread again. Please donate today to help YIARI tackle the current fires and prepare for the super El Niño.

$He Was Only Two Years Old: Rescuing a Baby Orangutan From Captivity URGENT RESCUE OF BABY ORANGUTAN FROM HORRIFIC CONDITIONS! Please donate via link in channel bio! He was only two years old - a helpless baby orangutan found alone, terrified, and trapped in a tiny cage in an illegal gold mining area in West Kalimantan, Indonesia. His name is Randy. When a joint team from the BKSDA West Kalimantan and our partners YIARI reached him, they found him living in heartbreaking conditions. The miner who kept him had built a crude cage barely big enough for Randy to turn around. He was being fed scraps of banana and bread, his small body weak and undernourished. Beneath his soft fur, our partners discovered signs of an old fracture - a healed break on his leg, proof that Randy had suffered a serious traumatic incident before his rescue. Randy’s story is the tragic result of human activity pushing deeper into orangutan habitat. As forests are destroyed and land is cleared for illegal mining, orangutans lose their homes - and their safety. When a baby is found alone, it almost always means his mother is gone, caught in the crossfire of habitat loss and human conflict. Randy is now at YIARIs rehabilitation center, but this is only the very beginning for him. His recovery will be long, difficult, and incredibly costly. He’s receiving the basic medical care and nutrition he was denied for so long but learning how to be an orangutan again will take years of patient, specialized support. We are urgently trying to raise the funds needed to save Randy and others like him - but we’re nowhere near our goal. Right now, your gift will be DOUBLED until the end of December. Randy has already lost so much. Please don’t let him – or the other orphans like him at the center - lose their chance at freedom too. #animals #orangutans #babyanimals$
