This heartbreaking scene was captured on camera in 2018 around West Kalimantan, Indonesia, where a construction crew demolished parts of the Sungai Putri Forest, Bornean orangutan habitat which is critically endangered.
International Animal Rescue was near the incident spot, and managed to save the orangutan and bring him to a safe & protected area of forest. But his desperate actions portray how these animals have been cornered due to human activity.
International Animal Rescue posted this video on Facebook on World Environment Day 2018, in a bid to protect the habitat of orangutans.
