Dozens of Critically Endangered Orangutans Rescued From Indonesian Wildfires

NPR reports that rescuers in Indonesia have saved dozens of orangutans from wildfires. The species is critically endangered, and the fires it is facing this season threaten both the animals and their habitat, not just their immediate escape routes. Dozens is a real number for a species this depleted, and a small one against a deadly burning season — a rescue holding a line rather than a recovery.
