The Orangutan Story Saving a Species:
The Orangutan Story
Sept. 19, 2008
Within the disappearing forests of Borneo and Sumatra live the gentle, tree-dwelling orangutans. But with their dwindling habitat under siege from deforestation, can these endangered apes survive? We’ll meet conservationists in the field working to protect the remaining populations of orangutans and explore ways that you can help—right from your own home—to preserve these fascinating primates and their forest homes. Along the way you’ll experience the extraordinary story of Alina, a very special baby orangutan born at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay.  Journey with us into the realm of the orangutan.
