As orangutans lose their habitat, local people are fighting to preserve the forest.<br \/>\nDeforestation is destroying wildlife in Kalimantan and pushing Borneo&#8217;s orangutans dangerously close to the point of extinction. A recent study shows that deforestation in this part of Indonesia is progressing moer rapidly than in any other part. On a boat tour deep inside Borneo&#8217;s jungle, accompanied by a local guide, we search for wild orangutans in one of the last intact rainforest areas where they can still survive. It is an ecosystem under pressure as large parts of the jungle have already been cleared for palm oil plantations and mining.<br \/>\nFormer loggers, who once made a living from cutting down these forests, are now trying to make ends meet through tourism\u2014a last-ditch effort to protect what remains of their forest. However, there are also reforestation projects aimed at the difficult and lengthy process of restoration. Conservationists warn that this is a critical moment: if the remaining fragments of rainforest are lost, the orangutan could disappear along with them. <\/p>\n<p>Chapters: <\/p>\n<p>00:00 Intro: Their home Is disappearing<br \/>\n00:48 Expedition into the rainforest<br \/>\n01:42 My first wild orangutan<br \/>\n02:17 Why Borneo is losing its forest<br \/>\n03:33 The conflict over palm oil<br \/>\n05:18 On the trail of the orangutans<br \/>\n05:48 A rare encounter in the jungle<br \/>\n07:32 The shocking scale of deforestation<br \/>\n08:52 New hope for the forest<br \/>\n10:00 A tree for the orangutans<br \/>\n11:10 A future without palm oil?<br \/>\n11:41 What\u2019s at stake now<\/p>\n<p>#Borneo #Orangutan #Deforestation #dwcurrentaffairs<\/p>\n<p>For more news go to: http:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/<\/p>\n<p>Follow DW on social media:<br \/>\n\u25baInstagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/dwnews<br \/>\n\u25baTikTok: https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@dwnews<br \/>\n\u25baFacebook: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/deutschewellenews\/<br \/>\n\u25baTwitter: https:\/\/twitter.com\/dwnews<\/p>\n<p>F\u00fcr Videos in deutscher Sprache besuchen Sie: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/dwdeutsch<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/deutschewelleenglish?sub_confirmation=1<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Palm oil is chipping away at Borneo\u2019s rainforest.
