Where’s the Orangutan? A Heartfelt Look at Nature’s Gentle Giants & Our Eco Adventure Song

Natalie Clarke

High in the emerald-green canopy of tropical rainforests, a flash of auburn fur sways between branches. An orangutan—whose name means “person of the forest”—pauses to peer down with curious, intelligent eyes.

These incredible great apes live only in the rainforests of Borneo and Sumatra, and their peaceful, tree-dwelling lives are as captivating as they are fragile. Sadly, orangutans are now critically endangered due to habitat loss, deforestation, and poaching. Every tree felled for palm oil plantations erases a piece of their home. Every forest cleared takes away their sanctuary.

Yet, there is hope—especially when we inspire the next generation to care.


The Gentle Nature of Orangutans

Intelligent Problem-Solvers – Orangutans use tools, learn from each other, and even fashion leafy umbrellas for rainy days.

Solitary but Social – They spend most of their time alone, but mothers form deep, nurturing bonds with their young for up to eight years.

Forest Gardeners – By eating fruit and dispersing seeds, they help the rainforest renew and thrive.

When we protect orangutans, we protect the rainforest—and when we protect the rainforest, we protect the lungs of our planet.
