Indonesia wildfires threaten orangutans rescued from animal traffickers
- Orangutans rescued from wildlife traffickers face a new threat from the record number of fires that have broken out in Indonesia in recent weeks.
- Flames have come within metres of an animal rehabilitation centre in West Kalimantan as hot, dry and windy conditions have been amplified by a powerful El Niño and the human-driven climate crisis.
- In the first 13 days of August, Indonesia registered more than three times more forest fire hotspots than in the whole of the same month last year.
