The future in her hands by Joan de la Malla, Spain. Due to industrial logging and land clearing for plantation development, the rainforests of Borneo are disappearing fast. Because of this, endemic species such as the orangutan are suffering and dying and are under serious threat. International Animal Rescue rehabilitates orphaned or injured orangutans, giving them the health care they need and preparing them for reintroduction, when possible. Here, in a forest enclosure, a keeper takes care of babies who are encouraged to mix with others of a similar age, make nests and forage for food.
