Orangutans are majestic primates who share 97% of their DNA with humans.

These deliberate and capable animals are known for their ingenuity and ability to use simple logic.

In onevideo, we join volunteers as they meet up with rescued orangutans at a sanctuary in Borneo.

Another informationalvideoshows how orangutans build their nests.

Their careful foraging and skillful weaving are just further demonstration of their intelligence.

It’s a critical issue, as many orangutans lose their families at a young age.

Once they graduate, they are then able to be released into the wild.

Orangutans face an uphill battle.

According to BOSA, without effective habitat protection, the species will be extinct in 10 to 20 years.

By posting videos of their behaviors, Borneo Survival Australia hopes to raise awareness.

The non-profit runs a jungle school to teach orphaned orangutans life skills.

Then, they are released into the wild.
