Endangered orangutans released back into wild after Borneo habitat fires
BBC World·ID·about 6 hours ago
Indonesian authorities have rescued 46 orangutans from wildfires ravaging Borneo, relocating 8 to protected forest while others receive treatment for burns and malnutrition. The fires, likely exacerbated by dry conditions and land-clearing, threaten the already endangered species and highlight escalating habitat loss. The full extent of wildlife casualties and long-term habitat damage remains uncertain.
