A vet checks over a rescued baby orangutan seized from the illegal wildlife trade at the Royal Forest Department’s wildlife clinic in Bangkok, #Thailand. Two baby orangutans were rescued after Thai police arrested a suspect who was about to hand them over to a would-be buyer.

"As citizens from across the world, we urge you to save the last 800 Tapanuli Orangutans from extinction by cancelling the expansion of the Martabe gold mine in the Batang Toru forest. Cancel this harmful project and become a true champion for nature. The fate of this entire species rests in your hands."
