Eight months after she was pulled, half starved, from an oil palm plantation with her frightened baby clinging to her wasted body, Mama Abut is about to start her new life. Not in a cage, or on an island, but back in the wild, in a forest that everyone hopes will never be ripped from under her. She hasn鈥檛 quite grasped the momentousness of the occasion. She鈥檚 still a little bit sleepy. The team tries to coax her out of the cage and she slowly moves out and off into the undergrowth, before climbing upwards with her baby clinging on. It鈥檚 taken incredible dedication to get 36 orangutans back into the wild, but their forest homes are destroyed so fast that in just two months there could be that many more new arrivals at the Centre. Releasing them all seems an impossible goal, but it doesn鈥檛 stop everyone here from trying.
