JAKARTA: Wildfires sweeping across parts of Indonesia’s Borneo island have left endangered orangutans struggling to survive, prompting rescuers to evacuate animals found injured, stranded and surrounded by thick haze.

A female Bornean orangutan nicknamed Novita was among dozens of apes rescued from wildfires in parts of Sumatra and Borneo in recent months. She was found clinging to a nearly leafless tree as dense smoke billowed across the scorched landscape in the Katune forest in Central Kalimantan province, said Jamartin Sihite, the chairman of the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation.

雅加达：席卷印度尼西亚婆罗洲岛部分地区的野火导致濒危猩猩生存艰难，救援人员不得不疏散受伤、被困和被浓烟包围的动物。

一只名叫诺维塔的雌性婆罗洲猩猩是近几个月来在苏门答腊和婆罗洲部分地区山火中获救的数十只猿类之一。婆罗洲猩猩生存基金​​会主席贾马丁·西希特说，人们在加里曼丹中部卡图内森林的焦土上发现她时，她正紧紧抓住一棵几乎没有叶子的树，浓烟滚滚。
