Indonesia rescues orangutans from fires
Environmental groups in Indonesia have saved dozens of critically endangered orangutans from areas affected by recent wildfires. A total of 51 monkeys were evacuated in West Kalimantan between August and October, bringing the overall number of rescued orangutans to approximately 96. The fires have been worsened by the climate phenomenon known as El Niño, which has increased haze and smoke, causing respiratory issues and leading to school closures in several countries, including Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore. Conservation rescue teams are working diligently to save the wildlife, conducting careful evacuations where the orangutans are thoroughly medically examined before undergoing rehabilitation.
