The Channel 4 series `Orangutan Jungle School' is a docu-soap, filmed at Nyaru Menteng in Borneo, Indonesia, and follows the antics, triumphs and tragedies of a group of orphaned orangutans. These orangutans had been displaced due to forest destruction, separation from their mothers, or kept illegally as pets. The Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation manages the primate rehabilitation project at Nyaru Menteng Orangutan Rescue Centre, and the series follows the group of orangutans as they are progressing through a forest school system where they will learn to fend for themselves in an already fragile ecosystem.
