Baby Orangutan Rescued in Borneo

Gus was rescued from a murderer's house during a poilce raid on the suspect. He was probably headed for the illegal pet trade for a life in confinement and misery. Our resident experts from the Great Orangutan Project took Gus into their care and are rehabilitating him for the wild. Volunteers to the project now get to follow his progress.
