The Red Ape, Saving the Orangutans

Title
The Red Ape, Saving the Orangutan

Setting
On the Island of Borneo in Indonesia - one of the two places in the world where the Orangutan live the rainforest jungle. The other place is called Sumatra

Main Characters
Carmele Llano Sanchez (Director) International Animal Rescue Centre  - plus 50 keepers and 6 vets who care for over 100 Orangutans.

What was the problem
People who work for wood companies cut the trees down which made deforestation. They cut the trees to make wood and paper to sell to other countries to make lots of money. These trees being cut down caused the Orangutans to lose their food and their home or habitat. They also lost their play area in the trees. People caught Orangutans in the forest and sold them to people for pets, these were babies. Companies also cut the jungle down to plant Palm Oil trees, to sell to people in other countries. Borneo have lost more than half of their forest to deforestation.

What was the solution
The people at International Animal Rescue went to find Organutans with a dart that put them to sleep, they would then fall out of the tree and the people would catch them with a net, the vet would check them. Most of them were very skinny because they did not have enough food because of the deforestation. They would move them if they were healthy to a place with protected forest. If they were not healthy or a baby they would take them back to the vet at the Centre. They cared for them there. They taught the babies to climb trees and find food so they could released into the big forest when they were ready. This was to keep them healthy, safe and protected to make more of them in the world.
