This picture taken on August 4, 2016 shows two orphaned orangutan babies in a tree whilst attending “jungle school” at the International Animal Rescue centre outside the city of Ketapang in West Kalimantan. Ignoring the shrieks of his rowdy, wrestling classmates, baby orangutan Otan practises swinging alone at his “jungle school” on Borneo island, switching hands and hanging upside down as he builds confidence high above the forest floor. The three-year-old is learning to fend for himself since being found wandering a palm oil plantation, alone and suffering smoke inhalation, at the height of fires last year that razed huge swathes of rainforest in Indonesia's part of Borneo. Sadly, life in the real world has never been more dangerous for these endangered primates. Last month, for the first time in history, Bornean orangutans were declared critically endangered – which is classed as one step away from total extinction. Experts have now warned that these majestic apes could vanish entirely from the island within only 50 years – as the ancient rainforest they’ve inhabited for centuries is chopped down at alarming speed.
