Story summary

Eight critically endangered orangutans, including three mother-child pairs and two adult males, were recently released back into a wildlife reserve in western Borneo by Indonesian authorities and conservation group Yiari. The apes had been rescued from wildfires that ravaged their habitat between August and September 2023. With around 104,000 orangutans remaining in Borneo and Sumatra—a significant decline from more than 230,000 a century ago—the fires intensified due to the El Niño weather pattern, making rescue efforts urgent. The relocation is seen as essential for their survival amidst habitat destruction caused by both wildfires and human activity.
