About Orangutan Jungle School

At the Nyaru Menteng Orangutan Rescue & Rehabilitation Center, the challenges come often and fast, from teaching the orphaned orangutans essential life skills to ensuring the more rambunctious members of the class don't cause too much mayhem. There are fruit kebabs as treats, baby orangutans in diapers, and many other delightful moments. But the future these orphans face is far from certain, as they work to overcome traumatic pasts, learn the skills they need to survive, and progress towards a carefully planned release back into the wild.
