SocietyIndonesia moves endangered orangutans to safety after Borneo fires

Wildfires in Borneo destroyed habitat for endangered orangutans, prompting the relocation of eight animals to safety. Since August, West Kalimantan’s Natural Resources Conservation Agency and YIARI have rescued 46 orangutans affected by fires. Indonesia is confronting its most intense wildfires in 11 years, mainly in Sumatra and Borneo, and officials warn they could persist until November, worsened by El Niño.
