Summary Dr. Karmele Llano Sanchez runs the International Animal Rescue's Indonesian operation, attempting to rehabilitate endangered Bornean orangutans at a remote outpost in West Kalimantan. These primates hold an important place in Bornean culture, the name Orangutan derives from the Indonesian and Malay words for "person" and "forest" - therefore Orangutan means "person of the forest". Yet these respected creatures are in serious danger: many are displaced from their habitats by deforestation, while others are taken as pets by local families or poached by black market traders. The vulnerable creatures at the rescue center find their way to the facility in a number of different ways and it's Karmele's job to nurture the orangutans back to health, and to prepare them for their journeys back into the wild.
