- A cruel trade is tearing baby orangutans from their jungle homes to be sold abroad.
We get a smuggler’s story - and meets the warriors risking their lives to save the great apes from extinction, and return them back to their jungle homes.
UPDATE: Thanks to the public response to the program, Jono from the quarantine centre in Jakarta is being moved to an orangutan sanctuary in Borneo where he will learn how to live in the wild.
Watch 730 follow Jono's journey back to the wild: • For six years, this or...

The man who runs the refuge is an Angel
There are some extraordinary people of all races, nationalites, some native to the lands, some from other countries who set up animal rescue and care facilities and they give me hope in this world that has too much cruelty and stupidity. But these people give and bit of hope and I know from personal experience how sometimes the simplelist of kindnesses change a life dramatically. I need to remember to say "bless you" towards the good people more than hate the evil ones.
The angel of death
he is a god!
How could anyone hurt those beautiful animals? They are so gorgeous and cute.
Edit: Sadly, money is more attractive and desperate people will go to extreme lengths to make it.
Ginger Ninja , I am truly fascinated with these beautiful creatures 💕
I can think of a few ways..Easily
If you were in a 3rd world environment who knows what you might do?
Because there's a crusty old lonely rich lady that wants an exotic pet after she secretly killed her rich husband for the life insurance money.
Valisea ?
I can't hold my tears. It's so heart breaking to hear what the hunter recognition, especially when the mother orang utan giving the last drop of her milk to its babies before she pass away. So horribly cruel! I wish the local government could give more serious attention to the local wildlife. Thank you very much for animals foundation who has giving a lot of attention to Indonesian wildlife!
@Shon Seibert no, I cried for the rats that die for the snakes and cockroaches that does for frogs
It's 97% same DNA?? It feels like killing a human?!! It's a great ape just like humans are great apes as well, you are so right the government need to step up!
Breaks my heart 😭
Че они их таскают,показуха одна,а взрослым дедам вообще в лесу место
I have killed many of them and m still on hunting them makes good money at the same time u get to eat some fresh bushmeat i mean🦧
Seeing those 2 little babies clinging to each other for comfort is heartbreaking 💔 you can see in their eyes how scared and confused they are. Thank you to the foundation for doing what you can to save these precious babies and others like Jono.
It's sad how the world is.
A Weird Animator I know, very sad. Even sadder is that while there is money involved it won’t change
liz impey You can always just toss what you have away.
YES to be more specific THE HUMAN RACE🤨
Yeah tell me about it please. System sucks industry’s are impossible to get in if you don’t know anyone. And celebrity’s we all should be if we wanted.
@@lizimpey6338 IM an Animator! You don’t know the Half of it man!! I hate it!!!
There is a special place in HELL for the people who cause harm to animals, and a special place in HEAVEN for the kind people that rescue them.
If my family was starving to death I would do whatever I had to do
None of you fucks seen other animals fucking each other to dead
even though this is not ok, i really think that there are more common and worse kinds of animal abuse.
@@rickgolden9220 Well, destroy your own. Put your kids in a cage to view for money. 🤣😁😂
there is nothing like that :)
Edward i also survived a serious head on car accident that put me in hospital and rehabilitation facility for almost 11 months and have a dream,wish to also take care of chimps,orangutans! I would dedicate the rest of my life to volunteer if i had the chance!
their eyes look so innocent, what kind of human who are so heartless to sell and cage them
They need to get a journalist that LIKES animals for this type of story.
Sicarri ! I agree with the original comment, she seemed a little stiff and cold towards the orangutans who tried to interact with her. Maybe she is an animal lover but it wasn’t captured on video, but from what we can see, maybe they could have chosen someone better.
The story the ex-poacher told was amazing and heart-breaking.
WelfareChrist I am indonesia and I love animals I care somuch about them. I realy dont like they kill animals and also selling them to onother country. I hate the people doing this to orangutan.
@@A_le400 do sth man 🙏
I hated him....
The world is truly a cruel place
You got that right it's the whole world not just there but here in the USA too
The world is just it is. Human is the cruel one :'(
I have always hated how humans wreck havoc on animals because of financial gain or merely just to bring cruelty to the animals. I commend all of the people who dedicate their lives to ensure animal welfare. I can't travel around the world, I'm an animal activist and I donate money to try to combat animal cruelty. Keep striving and keep up the good work. Love and peace.
THE DESIRE FOR MONEY IS DESTROYING THEIR HOME😢😢😢
It's the pure greed. Those stunning creatures have to pay a very high price for it. Just so sad!
The desire for money is destroying the whole nature, animals and soon even human.
I wouldn't cry for the extinction of human.
@@rzadan especially your extinction..
@rj doggman : What a twisted reasoning to justify destruction of the rain forest, and needing to save orphan apes as a consequence !!! Humans should all find ocupations that will not harm the ecosystem . Same happens in Africa. Many people justify poachers activity because of poverty. Human poverty, human problems, human overpopulation, human greed, human cruelty, human wars, human conflicts, human terrorism, human all sorts of illegal traffic (drugs, wild animals, wild plants, ivory etc. for money), human perversities for money such as zoos, circuses etc. Even use them for lab tests medicine and cosmetics !!And the list is infinite. What do animals have to do with all our stupid human issues !!! They come to this world just to exist. It´s their right !Poor innocent creatures having some of them the extreme bad luck to fall into human´s hands ...!!
Celina Fernández That’s a one dimensional way of looking at it. These countries are incredibly poverty stricken and these jobs are the only jobs that will feed their families. I believe we should blame the rich people who provide a demand for these animals, instead of poor people who (are still in the wrong/ignorant) but likely have no other choice for an income.
Even the hunter has humanity. He cried bcos felt guilty for what he did for his entire life.
Even orangutan has humanity. A lot of orangutan are better than some humans
@sad sushi it's NEVER too late! Imagine how many has been saved by him stopping!! Imagine how many more has been saved by him helping the organization and giving them info. Every small bit counts!
Stick the gun 🔫 in his mouth and pull the trigger that's remorse
Just don't like cruelty to monkeys full stop but obviously it will never stop
@@poisongas6033
I understand you and your feelings.
You do not need to go to church. God says when your day will come, you will be allowed to be in that special part of Paradise where all the animals and animal rescuers have access.
I wish until then only luck and wonderful times to you.
God's bless. Amen.
The Indonesian authorities have got to stop protecting all poachers and smugglers! What is happening to these beautiful creatures and their rainforests is criminal!
I can just imagine the fears going through the babies when they are taken away from their mothers it's not good
Feel so bad for them all especially Juno. Bless the people who care and work to save them and all wildlife 🙏🏻🕊
thanks for saving innocent animals from smuggling love you all
for what, they put them back where there where stolen -I can't believe so much madness....
They are such innocent precious creature and they are like human beings. They deserve to live in their Eden and we should make sure we protect the remaining rainforests as such for them.
You said the key thing and that is they deserve to live and it is our responsibility to protect them
Their Eden. Give me a break.
I use to want a baby orangutan. I thought I could give it a good life. Now I know that is not a good thought. They need to be with their family and in the wild.
That documentary probably save couple of Them. Thats a great thing! We all think that we are what they need... But its actually us Who need and want Them :/
I really feel sorry for these babies...they are just adorable.
I'm sooo sad for them, so happy the first babies had each other tho.
Thank ou for all you do to save and protect these beautiful animals! Such adorable babies ripped from their mothers. Thank you for the love and care and training to return them to their natural habitat where they should be.
I DON'T CARE WHO THEY ARE NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO TAKE ANOTHER LIFE ! WE HALF TO STAND UP AND FIGHT BACK FOR THEM WE HALF TO SAVE THEM EVERY SINGLE ONE COUNTS ! KEEP UP THIS VERY IMPORTANT WORK !
I AGREEEEEEEE
Support your poachers they need to feed there families..
@Shon Seibert lol. I think OP meant to type "have"
Shon Seibert she means “have”😅😅😅
@@dangray4322 are you one of those poachers,or do you hate all primates?
I salute these guys for being uncorruptable and for standing their grounds for what is right for these animals. God bless you and may god protect you from harm so many urangotans can be saved from these monsters.
If your god actually existed then we wouldn’t be in this mess. Keep believing in your impotent god instead of actually helping. I’m sure it makes you feel good,
Please respect these special creature and their habitat. The world has to stand up against palm oil!
Yes, we all need to stop buying products with palm oil.
What will they do when the palm trees are all gone, what then, they should think about it before cutting down more trees.
But most of the products contain palm oil tho. Gotta blame the corporations too
Not just palm oil but poachers.
@Manuel Popp Cookies (biscuits) and crackers are some products that contain palm oil.
In the Genesis story, God told Adam to care for earth and her creatures. We didn't do a very
good job did we...until people
like these. Bless them!
Well in that same book, damned it is, it calls for human agriculture - precisely the method that destroys the natural ecosystems.
It breaks my heart to see the darling Orangutans cooped up in a cage for 5 years or more. When will we learn the creatures of the earth are as valuable and loved as humans. We all have to share the earth and take care of it. Thank you for bringing this to the attention of all of us.
I bet if DEATH was the penalty for doing this, it might make them think twice. Especially when one of there smuggling buddies is put to death for it.
Oh god yes, I agree 100% . If they need an executioner I would 100% volunteer. I have know pity on anyone that can carry out crimes against a helpless primates or any other kind of animal's..
That baby gibbon sounded like a human baby crying. Uncanny.
Thank goodness for the internet or regular people like myself would never have a clue of this sad business.... I’ve learned more as an adult than I ever did as a student in school😢
Super job sir mam thanks for saving beautiful animals
Gurm Jatt , Edwin , you are inspiring, so endearing! 💕
Lisa Clemens thanks dear
👍🏻
As long as humans are there , every species is endangered!
Us humans aren’t long for this world if we keep up this behavior. Which is probably for the best.
@@BlGGESTBROTHER shut up
Absolutely
They're just kids. Orphaned at very young age. Wish them and all orangutans well.
OMG I can't believe the orangutan I sponsor (Popi) is in this video! I'm so touched

Good job! Seriously... You actually did something... :))))) !!!!
I'm disgusted with my government as well. They care more about money than orangutans' life
Forgive my directness, but Oki is not an it. Oki is a he. He is not a thing, but an intelligent, thinking and living being.
people are horrible. Killing a mother urang gutan and stealing the child. I hope the same thing happens to the family of smugglers and those who buy these orphans as pets.
What a terrible thought. Yes, people ARE horrible.
Jimi Leriak actually I disagree. It would at least give them some understanding and compassion. Mothers feel the same, no matter what species!
They should get punished. Its wrong to kill an orangutan
I know they’re inhuman pieces of crap
WTF is wrong with some people? I would much rather spend my life with these beautiful babies than I would with people!!
Thank you for all you do to help these amazing animals!
WTH is Wrong with some people? I just don’t understand them and I hope I never do. It’s a major tragedy.
Oh it's not a major tragedy. A major tragedy is the human smuggling & trafficking. Young girls, boys being sold off to a life of misery. Often a short life. You can't have too many major tragedies, people get immune. These are apes - not people.
Nad Well, I think that there are hundreds of videos about human sex trafficking on UTube. But This video isn’t one of them. I am sure that you are sincere in your ideology and not just saying something to be saying something. I promise that I will not go to one of those sites regarding human trafficking and post comments on the tragedy of orangutans being killed, kidnapped and treated cruelly by humans. Also there are, unfortunately, as many major tragedies as there are opinions by people. It’s all a matter of perspective. Thank you for your comment but maybe next time you could post it on a video that involves what you feel so strongly about. Jus’ sayin...
Bonnie Burns You go around the block to make a point. I don’t need to keep tragedies confined to boxes. I see a comment that’s over dramatic - I respond to that comment. I’m tired of people who get over emotional with animals when their own kind are in need. Usually, they’re the same ones who move to the next heart breaker vid & same. Talk is cheap. Help your own.
Nad Oh WOW! I didn’t know that I was dealing with the Supreme Hoo Ha of the Comment Police!!! I really don’t care what you think or say about me. It just shows how closed minded and arrogant you are. Go on and school everybody about what they should be passionate about. I bet you are a hoot at parties if you ever get invited to any. It just hard to socialize with someone who likes to control situations and has no personality worth noting. Oh, get over your bad self! You aren’t that interesting.
Bonnie Burns ha. Doesn’t take you long to lose it. 🙄
I’m so glad they had each other.
I never watch Orangutan video this heartbreaking 😭. The man that described the killing just broked me to pieces in that moment. Please save the Orangutan and please do not cage them. They are beautiful creatures. They need our support. Thank you to the man he is so brave to speak up. Thank you for your hard work to save these beautiful Orangutans.
I want to be part of these people who help orangutans. Love is all i need to qualify
Me too
Haha those babies are adorable little things. They are like people only sillier
Have the smugglers fist fight a grown male orangutan
The poor two that are in those small cages. The 15 year old looks like he's lost his mind, it absolutely heartbreaking. Why can't they go to that guys conservation???? Maybe they could at least give the big one a bigger inclosure, and possibly rehabilitate the young one. 🤷♀️
Grazie e buona vita a chi protegge, ama queste creature!
What an incredible job! You, both the documentation and the rescuers are doing! I am so touched and inspired!
Such beautiful amazing creatures, how would you feel if someone came into your home and ripped your baby from your arms. It’s just incomprehensible how people can have no respect for life, in any form life is not something to take for granted or abuse. If you believe in the basic concept of Karma it only takes one of these primates to get one hand on a human and tear you to pieces without much effort. I do have so much love for the people who devote their lives to protect and care for them, I work hard at trying to believe there’s more good people in the world than there are cruel🤞🏻
YES save the Orangutangs!!!!!!!
Let's focus on the humans that are doing good. Humans are inherently good, look at all these people have done for these orangutans. That's what's important.
I hope this is sarcasm.
Its no wonder these precious animals are becoming extinct.
Thank you so much for taking of them
Oh my god that is heart breaking, sad, just awful. 💜💜💜💜 My heart goes out to him
Лучшая награда, обнимание, прекрасные, удивительные, красивые животные.Добрые люди.😊
Милые, добрые орангуташики. Это самые лучшие существа на этой планете, я их просто обожаю.❤❤
I cant stop crying 😭
I'm 43 and if I live to 75 I doubt there will be none left in yhe wild. So sad.
Forest school is an amazing program
Jono it's such a magnificent beast he is so huge he could snap a human being like a twig if he wanted to it's a heartbreaking to see such a majestic huge animal like that caged up that long so sad 😔 he's beautiful
I sat here n cried all thru this heartbreakin video. I don't see how ppl can take the life of a mother orang or any other animals for money. I have a heart n conscience, that I couldn't live with myself. Evidently something these ppl don't have
Please share on your social media. Thank you for all the animal foundation to protect Organgutan. My heart hurts to see the horrible people to destroy Organgutan
to know the most intelligent coolest animals may be extinct in years to come just breaks my heart, and this man that runs this sanctuary is a gift from god ( him and his employees) bc if not for them they would be extinct already so god bless all sanctuaries that do this, also that big beautiful 15 yr. old male in the beginning in that cage & the baby they need to be sent somewhere they truly belong bc that is such cruelty, also these ppl risk their lives for these animals god bless u ppl!!!
The government should introduce programs that will provide livelihood to the poor people so it deters poachers from greeting enticed to the illegal trade, that usually is the solution that effectively works for turning things around from illegal pet trade. Poachers turn to illegal trade because of the desperate measure to meet their needs.
You sir are exactly right!
Perhaps, but it takes a person with no morals to kill a mother and steal the baby to sell. Even poor people have a conscious and a heart. These are greedy people with no morals composition to go through such a acts of violence.
I leave my comment here and will check it in 10 years. I will make sure that before I pass away I’ll make this world a better place for these beautiful animals and other species along with innocent humans.
We MUST end the palm oil industry and restore the rainforests, while also boosting their protection and targeting all poachers and sponsors of the illegal pet trade!
Absolutely true, I have just started not buying prepackaged food with palm oil,people need to also check for scientific names listed on product as well because they will disguise them
I love baby Orangatans. They are so cute and adorable next to baby chimps.
Quanto sono graziosi! Hanno un aspetto troppo simpatico! Sono creature docili e intelligenti!
Thanks you are rescue orangutan from my country.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🇮🇩❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’m Indonesian but feel ashamed of my peoples n this smugglers.... the government should take this seriously n responsible of those barbaric people 😤😤 I am furious
yes your goverment didnt do anything to protect wildlife in borneo.
edelyn carreonhernandez they did something now after the president change ..... the central government actually sending allowances for those animal protection but the local government corrupted it. So the new president act has been involved right now. We can’t blame the whole things on the central government as u know our country is large, mostly who did the bad things is the local government....
@HorizonGaming791 dont bring a religion in this case.this is exacly goverment error
@HorizonGaming791 Nice to know your corrupt brain🤣
Indonesia needs to do something
I was really sad when the orangutan was released into the wild. I thought I would be really happy when the moment finally came, but it just made me question whether he should be released in the first place. Once they’re taken out of their habitat, that’s it it’s done, that life is over with so I think maybe these orangutans should never be released back into the wild. Some of the sanctuaries are very nice and I think that’s a perfect place for a lot of them to live their lives out
You’re right, some wild animals cannot survive in the wild after being in captivity. Like a zoo, when you put them in captivity, it breaks their spirit. How does anyone recover from that
"He finds a camera, and tries to eat it." 😂
These eyes. How can someone hurt them 🥺😣🦧
This is just too heartbreaking…
Mulțumiri fundației și toate urările de bine. Tot respectul pentru ce fac acești oameni cu suflet mare. Mi-aș dori să văd âncătușați, pe toți cei care fac rău maimuțelor și celor care se folosesc de ele ân scopuri financiare. Vă doresc multă sănătate și tot binele din Lume.
شكرا لكم
How sad. Just glad there are people trying to make a difference! The governments need to be held accountable, but how can we make them???
I hope this wonderful man continues to fight for these beautiful creatures.
Welcome home Sweet Boy♥️Your Home where God indented for You to be💙
Thank God someone is saving them from abuse thank whoever doing it may God continue to be with you all and the Beautiful Creatures they don't deserve to be mistreated
I’m shamed that I came from there and feel sad 😂please guys continue your work and corrupt is always there and greed!
Why did you put the laughing emoji
@@zara9950 they probably thought it was a crying emoji
Just the same for any and all humans that are arrested for animal cruelty....to ANY animal.
I love to watch this vid thanks for save orangutan 💖👍🏻
how sad is our world. i want to go and help. this makes me sad
please keep saving innocent orangutan's and free them from cage
he is a hero in the video . Maybe he save many the Animal so that why he still live . The God save him
I could only watch half of it.....THEY ARE PEOPLE TOO! 😭😭😭
Having an Orang as a pet is like having a six year old child as a pet! We need to track and protect every one. Like Polar Bears, we can keep every animal safe and fed because there are so few, unfortunately. There is no where safe.
Gosh those gibbons are amazingly graceful from the trees! They make the orangutans look like fat artistic jellyfish!
Acho muito engraçados, os gurilas gosto muito de vê-los admiro mesmo!!!
He probably hasn't seen a blonde haired beauty in awhile. He's not bad looking either.
I’d love to come along on your travels!

In the future when im ready gonna help them for sure
It is heartbreaking to see what these cruel things (I won't call them people) do to these lovely creature's of God !! I hope each and everyone of them get what they deserve !!
They're so cute
What cruelty, very upsetting 🤗🤗😘😘💞💞💞
The 2 baby Orangutans huddled together in the video is so distressing , I can only imagine what they have been through to leave them in that state ( Mothers killed in front of them ).
Orang utans punya indonesia . Aku bangga jd indonesia. Welcome to indonesia
