The Future in Her Hands
This cluster of baby orangutans is absolutely adorable—but they’re a heartbreaking reminder of the dangers these animals face in their native rainforests in Borneo. Industrial logging and agriculture are rapidly eating away at their habitat. The person in this photo is the babies’ keeper affiliated with the conservation nonprofit International Animal Rescue. They’re tasked with rehabilitating injured and orphaned babies, encouraging them to interact with each other, and trying to help them survive in the wild.
