Orangutan Jungle School, Season 3

In the heart of Borneo’s rainforest in Indonesia lies a unique school, where rescued orphan orangutans are taught survival skills by a team of specially trained humans. Like standard schooling, an education at Nyaru Menteng Rescue Center takes years, from nursery to graduation, and can be an emotional journey for both students and teachers. We show what it takes for each primate to master the jungle school curriculum, navigate the growing pains of adulthood, and achieve the ultimate goal: a chance to return to the wild.
