Quarto, dustwrapper,144 pp.,illustrations. A unique insight into the highs and lows of rescuing and rehabilitating this species against all the odds in a remote part of Borneo.

This was a monumental challenge to undertake, both financially and physically. When IAR rose to the challenge in 2009 they thought they might one day be caring for twenty orangutans. Five years later they had 82 in their care with no sign of the numbers decreasing. By that time the IAR team had also rescued and released 38 orangutans that found themselves in conflict with humans.…
