Video: Orangutans Learning in the Haze
Learning continues for the young orangutans at the BOS Foundation Nyaru Menteng Rehabilitation Center, even through the devastating 2026 fire season. The air is hazy and smoke surrounds the school. Forest School activities are carefully adjusted yet continue so the orangutans can continue progressing through their important lessons..
Fires have been raging all across the forests of Borneo for the past several months.
