Orphans of the forest
Description
Once more than 1 million orangutans lived in the forests that stretched from China to Java. Now only small pockets of jungle support a dwindling population of just 15,000. The continued destruction of their habitat and the black market trade in baby orangutans, threaten to bring our closest primate relative to the brink of extinction. One man making a small difference in this battle for survival is Dr. Willie Smits whose efforts have made him many enemies, but this year Smits will rescue his 1000th orangutan.
