A farmer reported seeing the mother and daughter orangutans near a palm oil farm which was on fire.
After several hours searching through the haze, they finally found their pair.

These orangutans were lucky because IAR got them before the smoke caused to much damage. The team took them to a safe zone on the island.

Read the following text carefully.
1) It was nine in the evening. I was on my way to my bedroom after brushing my teeth. As I was passing the living room, I saw my brother, Aldo, lying on the floor watching TV. He always did that every night. He refused to go to bed and chose to sleep in front of the television. I decided not to say anything and directly went to bed.
2) I was half asleep when I heard a scream from the living room. It was about two in the morning. I jumped out of the bed and rushed towards the voice. In the living room, I found Aldo crying. His right hand was on his right ear. He said, "Help, help, help. It hurts!" Then, he told me that an insect had entered his ear. I was quite sorry for the insect. I figured out it was an ant. I imagined how miserable the ant was.

4) From then on, Aldo never slept in front of the television any more.
