As well as the damage to the environment and the effects

on people's health, the fires are also threatening rare wildlife.

This is no ordinary fire, rate areas of Indonesia are burning. It is

causing big problems for people and animals. Many apes have been forced

to flee their forest homes and often heads to villagers in search of food

but many locals see them as pests. This can lead to an increase on

attacks on the animals. This rare Borneo orangutan and her baby were

treated by an animal rescue team after trying to escape the

wildfires. The two apes were eventually released back into the

wild safely. The haze caused by the fires has been poisoning the air

across much of south-east Asia for weeks now. More than 100,000 people

in Indonesia are said to be suffering from breathing problems.

Fires happen every year in Indonesia but unusually dry weather has made

this year 's even worse than normal. A team of firefighters in one part

of the country are now being helped by elephants trained to carry hoses

and water pumps. TRANSLATION: We are now using elephants, trained to

patrol in the jungle in order to put out forest fires early. And stop

them from burning. Many of the forest fires are started illegally

to clear land to grow new clients, most are set ablaze on peat land

which burns for a longer and produces more smoke than other

fires. With rain expected here soon the fires could be put out in the

next month. And if you want to know anymore
