Orphaned by hunters who hack their mothers to death, or victims of loggers destroying their forest, these wide-eyed, innocent orangutans have found a sanctuary to protect them.

And their unlikely new ‘mummy’? Former air-hostess Lone Droscher-Nielsen and her Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation.

She has dedicated her life to saving orangutans whose habitat is being razed by bulldozers - without her, it is unlikely that any of these babies would be alive today.

Now they attend ‘jungle school’ so they can be returned to safe forests.
