Heartbreaking Footage of Orangutan Trying to Fight off Excavator that is Destroying his Home

As an excavator crashed down on a pile of cut trees, a desperate orangutan leaped down a large trunk, trying to stop the machine with his hands.


He tried clinging onto the cold metal but slipped and fell into the stack of trees which used to be his home once. The rain poured down as, shaking, he struggled to climb back up again.


The whole forest around him had been destroyed.


The heartbreaking scene was captured on camera in West Kalimantan, Indonesia, as a construction crew demolished a section of the Sungai Putri Forest, a habitat of critically endangered Bornean orangutans.


Fortunately, International Animal Rescue (IAR) was nearby and managed to save the orangutan and relocate him to a remote, protected area of forest. However, his desperate plight shows how far these animals have been pressured at the hands of humans.

“Unfortunately, scenes like this are becoming more and more frequent in Indonesia,” IAR wrote. “Deforestation has caused the orangutan population to plummet; habitats are destroyed, and orangutans are left to starve and die.”


Sungai Putri Forest is among the very few homes left for wild Bornean orangutans — but it is under serious threat from the expansion of palm oil plantations and other development projects.



A recent investigation by Greenpeace Indonesia revealed at least six illegal logging settlements existing in or close to this specific forest. The logging is considered to mostly take place at night, even in areas where mother orangutans have built nests to raise their babies.


Since the 1970s, Bornean orangutans have lost over half of their natural habitats because of logging operations. Along with the apes’ homes being destroyed, many are at risk of being shot if they try to come back to the land after a palm plantation has been established.

“Sungai Putri is home to one of the largest populations in the world, and we are at a critical point for the Bornean orangutan,” Karmele Llano Sanchez, program director of IAR in Indonesia, stated. “Without forests like this, they can’t survive.”


IAR is actively working on the ground on-site in Indonesia on land conservation efforts to safeguard the orangutans’ homes. However, as forests are continuously leveled by development, they need all the help they can to protect these precious apes.

To help save Bornean orangutans, you can donate to International Animal Rescue. You can also spread the word regarding how palm oil destroys their ecosystems and try your best to not buy products that contain palm oil.

So that was how he came back that same day, with lots of love and joy, and he apologized for his mistake, and for the pain he caused me and the kids. Then from that day, our Marriage was now stronger than how it were before, all thanks to Dr Ibrahim. he is so powerful and i decided to share my story on the internet that Dr Ibrahim is real and powerful spell caster who i will always pray to live long to help his children in the time of trouble, if you are here and you need love spell to get ex lover back forever or save your marriage fast.

  7. I am here to give my testimony about Dr. druromi who helped me. I want to inform the public how i was cured from (HUMAN PAPILLOMA VIRUS) by Dr. druromi, i visited different hospital but they gave me list of drugs which is very expensive to treat the symptoms and never cured me. I was browsing through the Internet searching for remedy on HPV and i saw someone comment talking about how Dr. druromi cured her. When i contacted him he gave me hope and send a Herbal medicine to me that i took for just 3 weeks and it really worked for me, my HPV result came out negative. I am so happy as i am sharing this testimony. My advice to you all who thinks that there is no cure for hpv that is Not true just contact him and get cure from Dr druromi cure of all kinds of sickness you may think of. Remember delay in treatment leads to death, email:(druromiherbstreatment@gmail.com)or call and whatsapp him on +2349020904596

  9. Please read and also contact Dr.JEKWU if you need a powerful love spell to fix your broken relationship.....

    I got a divorce from my husband when I was six months pregnant with my second child. We had been arguing and quarreling nonstop since the day our first child was conceived, no love nor trust from him anymore so he divorced me. And all these whiles, I have been trying all different means to get him back, I also tried some different spell casters here in the United States, but none of them could bring Richard back to me. It was only Dr.JEKWU who guaranteed me an urgent 48 hours spell casting, and he assure me that my husband will be with me again. I am writing to offer my thanks and deep gratitude to you for keeping your promises, and for using your gifted and great powers to bring him back home. I was thrilled to know that you are specialized in reuniting Lovers. Thank you Sir, for helping me through the worst times of my life, for being such a great spell caster, and for giving me a love spell that has brought me so much joy in my marriage. My husband is back and promise never to leave me again. If you doubt his ability, trust me. You should take a chance. It pays off in ways you could never even imagine. If you are their right now and you need a powerful and urgent love spell to bring back your ex kindly contact Dr.JEKWU right now he is the only answer to restore your broken relationship or marriage. jekwulovespelltemple@gmail.com
