An exceptional insight into the way of life of a unique and very special endangered species based on the latest research on the subject. We all recognise these highly intelligent and impressive animals - orangutans. But very few people know anything about how they live and their habits. Around 6,000 of these animals die every year; they are among the world's most endangered species despite sharing 97% of its genes with humans! This book reveals the plain truth, and the tragedy of what is happening in the jungles of Borneo and Sumatra. Species protection and the fight against climate change - can they go together? Yes - that's proved by the spectacular facts that the authors of this book have researched and now published for the first time. The destruction of the rainforests is not only fuelling global warming but systematically annihilating the habitat of the orangutan. whatever the declarations of intent on the part of those involved, almost nothing is being doen to protect this endangered great ape: that's the shocking message of this book, and at the same time a call to action. This state of affairs is impressively documented by sensational until now unpublished photographs taken during the photographer's travels in Borneo and Sumatra.
