Orangutan Island – Part 1 2007 DVD Top-quality Free UK shipping

A desperate struggle for survival is raging deep in the heart of Borneos forests. Illegal logging is rapidly destroying the Bornean orangutans last stronghold in the wild – leaving hundreds of orangutan babies orphaned and homeless. Their future seems bleak but a ground-breaking project led by founder and manager, Lone Droscher-Nielsen is providing real hope for ensuring the survival of the species. Meet the 35 lovable classmates of Forest School 103 at the Nyaru Menteng Orangutan Rescue and Rehabilitation Centre, and watch with eager anticipation as these precious red-haired “Children of the forest” attempt to form their own society on a protected island. Unlike wild orangutans, who live mostly solitary lives travelling across endless territory every day, this group will be confined to an island where they will need to learn to live together in a community. Learning to bond with other orangutans, forming friendships and sharing knowledge are all issues they will face here, as they all adapt and learn to live free on “Orangutan Island”.
