Summary The orangutan is highly endangered, having lost nearly all its forests over Asia and rapidly still more to plantations. Conservation will only save it if programs are developed to reintroduce captivity-bred apes to the remaining wild tracts. Such a program in Sabah (northern Malaysian Borneo) shows how complex and hard to learn their lives are, requiring intricate knowledge of the forest, such as edible plants and when they bear fruit, while Charlotte demonstrates her utter ignorance.
