Alan Knight, the charity’s chief executive, said Pelangsi’s story reflected
the plight of many orang-utans in Borneo.
“He was driven from the forest when it was destroyed to make room for a
palm oil plantation,” he said.
“He was forced into an area where wildlife and humans are competing for
space and food.
“Unfortunately we came too late to save his damaged hand but we certainly
saved his life.”
The team are now looking for a potential release site for Pelangsi so he can
be released into a safe area of forest which is free from man-made threats.
