Foreign Correspondent – Borneo Orangutans
This ABC documentary from 2006 provides an excellent insight into the plight of the orangutan. Eric Campbell visits Nyaru Menteng and gets to see Forest School in action. BOS’s Lone Dröscher Nielsen explains the rehabilitation process that these often traumatised babies will undertake to allow them to return to the wild.
The documentary explains the threat that palm oil poses including the loss of habitat, illegal logging and killing or capture of orangutans. (Please not that some of this footage is at times distressing)
