0:00:02 > 0:00:05Last time on Orang-utan Diary, orphans Ellie and Grendon
0:00:05 > 0:00:11were in danger when an unwelcome guest gate-crashed their forest lessons.
0:00:11 > 0:00:18I was out on the road with a rescue team and saved another baby from a future in captivity.
0:00:18 > 0:00:23Back at the centre, little Lomon was making some real progress.
0:00:23 > 0:00:28But it was the birth of a baby that left us all holding our breath.
0:00:45 > 0:00:50The Borneo Orang-utan Survival Foundation's single aim
0:00:50 > 0:00:54is to ensure a wild future for endangered orang-utans.
0:00:54 > 0:00:59All find a safe home here, from babies forcibly taken from their mothers,
0:00:59 > 0:01:02to wild adults made homeless by deforestation.
0:01:02 > 0:01:09It's hoped that eventually, they'll all be put back into the wild.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18For the youngest, like our baby born yesterday,
0:01:18 > 0:01:20that's going to be at least six years in the future.
0:01:20 > 0:01:28However, one of the centre's biggest inhabitants is about to get his first taste of freedom.
0:01:28 > 0:01:29Hey, Zorro!
0:01:31 > 0:01:34Isn't he beautiful?
0:01:34 > 0:01:37I think the big males really do it for me.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40I think they're just absolutely stunning
0:01:40 > 0:01:43and Zorro is a cracking-looking fellow, isn't he?
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Zorro's time has come.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47He's finally going out to the island.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51This stereotypical behaviour that he does, this spinning round
0:01:51 > 0:01:54is all to do with the fact that he's been kept so confined all his life.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Just how well is he going to adapt to being out of this cage?
0:01:57 > 0:02:01This is all he has ever known since he was a child.
0:02:01 > 0:02:07And we know that he hasn't climbed a tree since he was with his mum.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Before Zorro was rescued by Lone and her team,
0:02:11 > 0:02:16he was kept illegally as a pet for 13 miserable years.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Ooh, hello, Zorro, what was that?
0:02:19 > 0:02:22That was strange, wasn't it, big man?
0:02:22 > 0:02:26When you wake up, it's going to be somewhere very, very different.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Got hold of that still.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43There we go.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Oh, God,
0:02:45 > 0:02:46he is a big lad.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Look at the length of those arms!
0:02:48 > 0:02:50That's amazing!
0:02:53 > 0:02:59Ooh, hello. Ooh, he's still a bit awake.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02He doesn't know what's going on.
0:03:02 > 0:03:09Being transported in a wheelbarrow seems somewhat undignified for such a magnificent animal
0:03:09 > 0:03:12but we need to get him to his new home as quickly as possible.
0:03:15 > 0:03:20Homes for orang-utans in Borneo are getting hard to come by.
0:03:20 > 0:03:25Scientists predict that if nothing is done to halt the destruction of the rainforests,
0:03:25 > 0:03:28orang-utans will become extinct within ten years.
0:03:32 > 0:03:37The centre constantly battles to give rescued orang-utans a second chance.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40A vital part of the rehabilitation process is teaching the younger ones
0:03:40 > 0:03:45all of the skills they'll need to survive in the wild.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49With classes just beginning out in Forest School One,
0:03:49 > 0:03:53I'm going to check up on a very special orphan, Lomon.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56I reckon the star pupil of Forest Group One,
0:03:56 > 0:04:00who definitely gets the medal for improvement, is Lomon.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Look at him, Mr Independent.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06He's off out into the forest looking for his own food.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10And actually, it's remarkable the way he's finding stuff to eat.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13He hasn't been shown a lot of these plants,
0:04:13 > 0:04:19which suggests that maybe he remembers them from being with his mum in the wild.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22It's been amazing to watch his progress.
0:04:22 > 0:04:26He was so shy and so introverted and so thin,
0:04:26 > 0:04:31not eating or drinking anything - and now look at him.
0:04:31 > 0:04:37He's out, he's on his own, he's moving around.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41Got to get you climbing a bit more next, haven't we?
0:04:41 > 0:04:45I know you're not supposed to have a favourite, but...
0:04:45 > 0:04:50there's something about Lomon, he's such a character, he's such an individual.
0:04:55 > 0:05:00With Zorro under sedation, we can now safely ferry him to his new home.
0:05:00 > 0:05:05I'm travelling out with Lone Droscher-Neilson, the director of the centre.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09The islands lie a few miles down river.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13They're the last stage in the rehabilitation process.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Apart from two food deliveries a day,
0:05:17 > 0:05:21the orang-utans here are left completely to their own devices.
0:05:24 > 0:05:29Most of the islands' inhabitants tend to be orphans that have grown up at the centre,
0:05:29 > 0:05:32but Zorro is a different case.
0:05:34 > 0:05:40Even though he's a fully grown adult, he's never had the chance to live in the forest.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46He's been trapped in a cage ever since he was a tiny baby.
0:05:49 > 0:05:56We've no idea how he's going to react when he feels all that space and fresh air around him.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01Lone, why do you put them on the feeding platforms?
0:06:01 > 0:06:06You know, sometimes they sit on that feeding platform and think that's their new cage.
0:06:06 > 0:06:11Ah, OK. I suppose that makes sense because this will be the point he explores from,
0:06:11 > 0:06:14so he'll always know this is home to start off with,
0:06:14 > 0:06:16until he gets used to it.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18But they're so different. We had Mama Mosey,
0:06:18 > 0:06:21who sat on that feeding platform thinking it was her cage.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23She didn't move, like the floor was her cage
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- though there were no bars. - How long did she stay there?
0:06:26 > 0:06:29- About three days. - But then she started...
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Then she started to climb trees and back again.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34We've had some that has been in captivity for 12 years,
0:06:34 > 0:06:37you put them out and they're off in the trees immediately,
0:06:37 > 0:06:40- and others that just can't figure it out.- Yeah.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44It's incredible to think that when Zorro regains consciousness,
0:06:44 > 0:06:48it'll be the first time he's seen a forest in 13 years.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56In Forest School One, the orang-utans are continuing to learn skills
0:06:56 > 0:07:01that will one day allow them to live independent lives in the wild.
0:07:01 > 0:07:06The perseverance with the climbing lessons for Lomon continues.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10Now, we know that Lomon just eats a lot now, so,
0:07:10 > 0:07:13we put some oranges on the end of a stick,
0:07:13 > 0:07:17Lomon, Lomon! And we try to encourage him up the tree.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21But Lomon is not a stupid orang-utan
0:07:21 > 0:07:25and he knows there's some very easy ones on the ground in here.
0:07:25 > 0:07:30Lomon, come, Lomon,
0:07:30 > 0:07:32look, Kesi will show you how.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Lomon, look, watch Kesi.
0:07:34 > 0:07:39Up we go with the oranges. Kesi.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47And with her one arm, look at that!
0:07:47 > 0:07:48No problem.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Lomon, tree, climb, come!
0:07:55 > 0:07:59Kesi has really come along since she's been at Forest School One.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Despite losing one of her hands before she was rescued,
0:08:02 > 0:08:07she climbs like a natural and loves playing with her classmates.
0:08:12 > 0:08:17It's great to see how Kesi, Lomon and the other orphans here
0:08:17 > 0:08:21have really thrived on the love and attention given by the baby-sitters.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27It's amazing! We may not be able to get Lomon to climb,
0:08:27 > 0:08:29but he is showing an interest in nest-building.
0:08:29 > 0:08:34I know it's not a very good nest, but it's a start.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Now that nest should be in the tree, Lomon. Yes!
0:08:39 > 0:08:42It's amazing in this group. You've got real characters.
0:08:42 > 0:08:47You've got Lomon the eater, you've got the little biter,
0:08:47 > 0:08:51you've got Kesi the climber and you've got Vanilla the stealer.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57MICHAELA LAUGHS
0:09:01 > 0:09:06So come on, Lomon, snack time over. It's back to climbing lessons.
0:09:06 > 0:09:07Hey.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11- Oh! - SHE LAUGHS
0:09:11 > 0:09:13You know, I thought we were getting somewhere.
0:09:13 > 0:09:19Come, Lomon, come. Up the tree, look, see, there.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23There! Then you do that.
0:09:23 > 0:09:24I've got you.
0:09:24 > 0:09:29There! Well, it's a start.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33There, see, you CAN do it.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Is that high enough for you?
0:09:38 > 0:09:41I feel we've made a bit of progress!
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Just going to roll him on his back again
0:09:50 > 0:09:54so he's in a better position for waking up.
0:09:54 > 0:10:03Oh, oh, here we go, hang on to that, hang on to that, not on to me.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06There you go, good lad, there we go.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09- Don't fall down.- Don't, stay there!
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Hang on.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14That's a good lad, ooh, have a pee.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23So roughly how long is he going to stay on here?
0:10:23 > 0:10:26What's the plan for the ones that come to the island?
0:10:26 > 0:10:29They're all individual but we hope at least three seasons,
0:10:29 > 0:10:32that means two fruiting seasons and one dry season.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Ah, right, OK, and the dry season is the important one
0:10:35 > 0:10:37for them to learn how to cope out in the wild?
0:10:37 > 0:10:41Yes. They need to learn they can eat grasses, they can eat leaves,
0:10:41 > 0:10:44they can eat bamboo and other things as well.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51He's almost completely round now.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54He's still a bit groggy but we're happy now to leave him.
0:10:54 > 0:10:59It's going to take him some time to really get used to this new environment.
0:10:59 > 0:11:04So for the first few days, there's going to be somebody with him constantly.
0:11:04 > 0:11:10One of the technicians will be around to make sure he's not getting into any mischief.
0:11:10 > 0:11:11You all right? Hm?
0:11:30 > 0:11:33There's never a dull moment here at the centre.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37This tiny little baby orang-utan that's in quarantine
0:11:37 > 0:11:40has managed to escape twice from this cage
0:11:40 > 0:11:44and the way that it's done it is,
0:11:44 > 0:11:47you see these, it's actually managed to undo it,
0:11:47 > 0:11:50pull it off, open the door and get out.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54It seems crazy, doesn't it? For this tiny little Houdini,
0:11:54 > 0:11:56they've had to resort to a huge chain.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00Now it seems very sad to see this little guy all on his own in here,
0:12:00 > 0:12:04but he's actually in here while his mother is being treated with a broken arm
0:12:04 > 0:12:06and he's obviously so desperate to get back with her,
0:12:06 > 0:12:10the bond is so great that he's doing anything to get out of this cage.
0:12:16 > 0:12:21This is where little Houdini's going to see his mum again.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25These orang-utans were rescued from an oil palm plantation about three weeks ago,
0:12:25 > 0:12:29so they're still very wild and they're still very wary of people.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Hopefully, these two won't have to be in this cage for too long,
0:12:32 > 0:12:36it just depends how long it takes for the arm to get strong again.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38And then because they were caught from the wild,
0:12:38 > 0:12:42hopefully they will be able to go back into a safe wild
0:12:42 > 0:12:45in the not too distant future.
0:12:45 > 0:12:51As Houdini settles in with his mum, another drama is unfolding at the centre.
0:12:51 > 0:12:58A baby has just been rescued but this one doesn't have its mum around.
0:12:58 > 0:13:05Babies like this will face many years of forest education before they can be released again.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Hey, hey.
0:13:14 > 0:13:19We have no idea what condition this baby will be in.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Oops! No, no, no, no.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34ORANG-UTAN SQUEAKS
0:13:39 > 0:13:40Oh, he's a biter!
0:13:42 > 0:13:43Poor little guy!
0:13:43 > 0:13:45With its forest home destroyed,
0:13:45 > 0:13:49this baby was forced into a palm oil plantation with its mother.
0:13:49 > 0:13:54Sadly, its mum was then killed, leaving the little one totally helpless.
0:13:58 > 0:14:03It's got quite a few little wounds now.
0:14:03 > 0:14:07Poor little guy, he must just not know what's going on.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09He'll go into a cage soon.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Although he's obviously traumatised,
0:14:11 > 0:14:14it's important to give him a quick health check
0:14:14 > 0:14:16and treat any physical injuries.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18What do you reckon that's from, Lone?
0:14:18 > 0:14:22It's probably from barbed wire or something.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26LONE SPEAKS LOCAL LANGUAGE
0:14:26 > 0:14:28Stings.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31We won't take any blood from him today because he's a bit stressed.
0:14:31 > 0:14:36We'll wait for those, there are some other ones coming back from the rescue,
0:14:36 > 0:14:40so we'll take blood from him when they come back.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43This is yet another victim of the palm oil industry.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Yet another orang-utan that's lost its mother.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49He's a strong little guy.
0:14:49 > 0:14:50I suppose he's got four hands.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59It's going to take quite a while for our big male, Zorro, to recover,
0:14:59 > 0:15:05so I'm catching up with my best mates, Ellie and Grendon, pupils in Forest School One.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08If these babies were still with their mums out in the wild,
0:15:08 > 0:15:11one of the most important things they would be learning
0:15:11 > 0:15:13is what to eat when times get hard.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17We all know that the orang-utans love to eat fruit but during the dry season,
0:15:17 > 0:15:21there's very little of that about, so they'll have to find something else.
0:15:21 > 0:15:22If you look around the forest,
0:15:22 > 0:15:28there are thousands of different species of plants available, but which are edible?
0:15:28 > 0:15:31To be honest, I've no idea, but the baby-sitters do.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42You've done this before.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Right, cool.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48How to find the right food is yet another of the many skills
0:15:48 > 0:15:52orphaned orang-utans have to learn from the baby-sitters.
0:15:56 > 0:16:01Ah, not immediately obvious, but this is the stuff.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Researchers have followed orang-utans out in the wild
0:16:04 > 0:16:09so they do know which species of plants are edible and which ones are suitable.
0:16:09 > 0:16:10You need to get it right because,
0:16:10 > 0:16:13look at this plant, it's got very similar sort of leaves,
0:16:13 > 0:16:17but who knows, this one might be poisonous, it might be toxic,
0:16:17 > 0:16:18so you've got to get it right.
0:16:27 > 0:16:28Thank you.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Come on then, come and get it.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Come on...
0:16:45 > 0:16:47It's not just knowing which plants to eat,
0:16:47 > 0:16:51it's knowing how to eat them and Grendon has been given this plant before
0:16:51 > 0:16:56and he knows it's not the leaves he's interested in, it's actually the pith.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59It's the central part of the stem.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04This isn't something he's learned instinctively.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08This is something he's been shown, he's been taught how to do this
0:17:08 > 0:17:12and that's a very valuable lesson. Here you go.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Come on!
0:17:14 > 0:17:15Good lad!
0:17:18 > 0:17:19No?
0:17:23 > 0:17:27And with that lesson over, Grendon's decided it's time to put his feet up.
0:17:31 > 0:17:37Nests are all well and good but you can't beat a good hammock, just ask Grendon!
0:18:02 > 0:18:06It's early afternoon and time to check up on the baby
0:18:06 > 0:18:08that was brought in just a few hours ago.
0:18:15 > 0:18:20Goodness knows what trauma this little chap's already been through.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24He's lost his mother and been taken from the wild.
0:18:24 > 0:18:30More to the point, the wild has been taken away from him and made into a plantation.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Even though he's wild and he's around two-and-a-half,
0:18:33 > 0:18:37he'll have to go through four years of rehabilitation
0:18:37 > 0:18:39before he can be put back into the wild.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Because they're so dependent on their mothers,
0:18:44 > 0:18:46there's no way they can just be put back,
0:18:46 > 0:18:48they just simply wouldn't survive.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53It's so sad to see it in this cage,
0:18:53 > 0:18:57yet this is one of the lucky ones.
0:19:04 > 0:19:09With lessons over for the day, it's packing up time for Forest School One
0:19:09 > 0:19:12but not all the orang-utans are eager to go home.
0:19:15 > 0:19:20SHE SPEAKS NATIVE LANGUAGE
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Come on Ellie, come on.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Come on.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31Every evening at least one of them stays up the tree.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35Today it's Ellie and it's Aggis.
0:19:35 > 0:19:36You won't get any food!
0:19:46 > 0:19:49Right, we got Ellie caught but Aggis is still up there
0:19:49 > 0:19:54so we'll try the old "Come on, we're leaving, you'll get left behind" trick.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04The weird thing is, if you listen,
0:20:04 > 0:20:08you can hear all over this forest, in all the other sort of classes,
0:20:08 > 0:20:10there's probably one of each class still up a tree
0:20:10 > 0:20:12because they're all shouting.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16You get to this time of day and it's just, "Come on!"
0:20:31 > 0:20:34If you want to be a baby-sitter,
0:20:34 > 0:20:38I think you need to write on your CV "patience of a saint".
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Come on. It's time to go.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47HE LAUGHS Excellent.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51Yeah, these guys really know what they're doing, don't they?
0:20:51 > 0:20:55That's very good. Well done!
0:20:55 > 0:20:57You cheeky monkey!
0:21:02 > 0:21:05Right, we can go home now!
0:21:23 > 0:21:28As the day draws to a close, all the classes are returning to the centre
0:21:28 > 0:21:30and congregating on the lawn.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33School's out for the orang-utans.
0:21:33 > 0:21:38This is their last chance to play before they're put to bed.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53Michaela and I have become so fond of our special pupils,
0:21:53 > 0:21:57Ellie, Grendon, Lomon and all the other young orang-utans.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01At times like this, it's easy to forget the tragedy
0:22:01 > 0:22:03that lies behind every little face.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13- How's your day gone?- Pretty good.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17I'm seeing improvement in my little lot.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21- We've got Lomon in this group, as you can see.- Still eating. - Your professional opinion?
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Well, he's definitely fatter,
0:22:23 > 0:22:26which is, for him, a very, very good thing.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Is he getting a bit too porky?
0:22:28 > 0:22:31I think he's a long, long way off that, isn't he,
0:22:31 > 0:22:34but he seems to be a lot happier,
0:22:34 > 0:22:37he seems to be in amongst now, he's not having to be fed.
0:22:37 > 0:22:42- Is that how you see him? - Oh, he eats absolutely everything and anything. It's incredible.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45But then when you think about it, he is six years old
0:22:45 > 0:22:48and most of them here are what, around two?
0:22:48 > 0:22:54- Two yes, two-and-a-bit, possibly. - So he's still got a long way to go.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58The thing for me is when you see them all here, out at the end of the day,
0:22:58 > 0:23:04and you think every single one of these has lost its mum in a violent way.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07And it's just staggering, the size of the problem.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10Also when you realise that every single one of these
0:23:10 > 0:23:15represents about five that weren't lucky enough to get a second chance.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17It is amazing
0:23:17 > 0:23:21and it seems to be that every day there's reports of another one, another rescue.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25The rescue team has gone out and collected three or four more.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29It's just a continuous, continuous cycle.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33You can lose that idea when you're sitting there and they look so cute
0:23:33 > 0:23:36and they're sort of picking away at stuff and having a lovely time,
0:23:36 > 0:23:39but you must remember where they've come from.
0:23:42 > 0:23:43It's approaching four o'clock.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47The day may be drawing to a close for the young orphans
0:23:47 > 0:23:51but for the rescue team, the action just never stops.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00We're heading for the very same palm oil plantation
0:24:00 > 0:24:02where we made our first rescue.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04When I went on that journey,
0:24:04 > 0:24:08I couldn't believe the scale of the deforestation,
0:24:08 > 0:24:11but this time it seems even worse.
0:24:20 > 0:24:26The rainforest home of the orang-utans is disappearing at an alarming rate
0:24:26 > 0:24:31and it's principally the palm oil industry that's driving the devastation.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Used in thousands of everyday products,
0:24:34 > 0:24:39palm oil is fast becoming one of the world's most popular vegetable oils.
0:24:39 > 0:24:45As a result, vast areas of rainforest are being cleared to make way for new plantations.
0:24:45 > 0:24:50In the last decade, over five million hectares of orang-utan habitat
0:24:50 > 0:24:54has been destroyed by the palm oil industry alone.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58As we near the village,
0:24:58 > 0:25:02something tells me this could be a very tricky confrontation.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04This orang-utan has been kept illegally as a pet.
0:25:04 > 0:25:08The owner isn't happy about giving it up.
0:25:08 > 0:25:09Well, this is a bit of a surprise.
0:25:09 > 0:25:13We came here to actually pick up a wild orang-utan
0:25:13 > 0:25:17and this is what we found, this tiny little infant.
0:25:17 > 0:25:22They've had it a week. It's so small.
0:25:22 > 0:25:27THEY SPEAK NATIVE LANGUAGE
0:25:27 > 0:25:30It's obviously quite a sensitive issue here,
0:25:30 > 0:25:34whether these people are actually aware of the law,
0:25:34 > 0:25:36of the fact that they can't keep this animal.
0:25:38 > 0:25:39The whole rescue organisation
0:25:39 > 0:25:43is completely dependent on people who work these fields
0:25:43 > 0:25:47and work these plantations, actually working with them,
0:25:47 > 0:25:50phoning them up and saying, "There is an orang-utan here."
0:25:50 > 0:25:54So you can't march in here, you know, slap the cuffs on,
0:25:54 > 0:25:57or else you'll never hear about these orang-utans.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00We'll never get any of them out of these sort of areas.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02So it's gently, gently to start off with
0:26:02 > 0:26:06but I know Lone and we're not leaving here without this orang-utan.
0:26:09 > 0:26:16THEY SPEAK NATIVE LANGUAGE
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Tempers are riding high.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21It's difficult to know what will happen.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24This is the trickiest rescue we've had so far.
0:26:26 > 0:26:31You can see that this isn't a straightforward issue,
0:26:31 > 0:26:35and without Lone here fighting for these orang-utans,
0:26:35 > 0:26:38they really wouldn't stand a chance.
0:26:38 > 0:26:42There's still so far to go...
0:26:44 > 0:26:48to get people to understand that you can't keep these animals as pets
0:26:48 > 0:26:51and that if we don't start looking after them,
0:26:51 > 0:26:53they're not going to be around very long.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00- So have we moved past gently, gently now?- Yes!
0:27:00 > 0:27:04OK, I noticed the subtle transition.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07What's the state of play at the moment? He's obviously not keen.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11He keeps saying, "If you take this one, I'll go and get another one."
0:27:11 > 0:27:14- But he doesn't understand he has to kill the mother.- Yeah.
0:27:14 > 0:27:15For this one he didn't kill the mother,
0:27:15 > 0:27:18but he doesn't understand you have to do that to get another one.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20It is taking just about everybody to convince him.
0:27:20 > 0:27:25People will look at this, little guys clinging to you,
0:27:25 > 0:27:27and just think they are so cute
0:27:27 > 0:27:29but it's just totally inappropriate.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31How old do you think this one is?
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Probably about seven, eight months old.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41SHE SPEAKS NATIVE LANGUAGE
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Well, that went smoothly(!)
0:27:57 > 0:28:03As you can see, it's quite a fight sometimes.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05All we can do is get this one back.
0:28:12 > 0:28:16Unfortunately, not all confiscations are straightforward.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19But thanks to Lone and her team,
0:28:19 > 0:28:22at least one more baby orang-utan has been saved.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32Next time on the final episode of Orang-utan Diary,
0:28:32 > 0:28:35we find out whether Lomon is ready
0:28:35 > 0:28:39to make the grade and move up to the next class.
0:28:39 > 0:28:44Who's the star pupil of Forest School One - Ellie or Grendon?
0:28:46 > 0:28:50And will Zorro overcome years of solitary confinement
0:28:50 > 0:28:54and learn to enjoy life as a wild orang-utan?
