Baby Orangutan Pulled Away From Their Mother #orangutans #apes

This year, we’re going to really need your help. (Set up a monthly gift on our website, link in bio!) Over the past few weeks, you may have seen us asking for support as our partners YIARI tackle fires threatening orangutans and their forest home in Borneo. And with El Niño conditions expected to make the dry season even more dangerous, the risk is growing. Mama Qia and her baby, pictured here during an emergency rescue in 2019, show what can happen when fires push orangutans into crisis. As forests burn, orangutans can be forced from the trees in search of food and safety, leaving them at risk of hunger, injury, conflict and emergency rescue. A monthly gift helps our partners stay ready. It supports the work needed to monitor hotspots, respond quickly, protect orangutans and stop situations like this before they reach breaking point. Please set up a monthly gift today and help protect orangutans before it gets this far.
