Forest fires create a hidden crisis for wildlife. Beyond destroying habitats, smoke exposure threatens orangutans' health, restricts food and water, and violates core animal welfare principles across Kalimantan's ecosystems.
When forest fires strike, orangutans face a deadly fight for survival. Trapped atop a burning tree in Central Kalimantan, baby orangutan Novita was rescued through a joint emergency effort by BKSDA, BOS Foundation, TNI AD, and local residents.
