Overview
Orangutans (OT) are among our closest relatives and behave remarkably like us. Here, two experts explore these fascinating similarities, and paint a compassionate picture of these intelligent primates. They describe how OT learn from each other, mother their young, and communicate, offering fresh insight into OTs' emotions. The book is also a moving treatise describing the perilous future of these magnificent forest dwellers. It reveals the devastating effects on the habitat of OT -- who live only on the islands of Sumatra and Borneo -- of recent fires, droughts, and widespread floods, and the issue of saving the rainforests, a battleground where biologists and environmentalists fight industry and agriculture to preserve a sensitive ecosystem. B&W photos.
