International Animal Rescue was on the scene and managed to save an orangutan, relocating it to a safe and protected area of the forest. The desperate actions of the orangutan vividly illustrate the dire situation these animals face due to human activity.

International Animal Rescue posted this video on Facebook on World Environment Day 2018, highlighting the urgent need to protect the habitats of orangutans.
