Indonesia wildfire live updates: Toxic haze spreads to Malaysia and Philippines

Orangutans in danger as wildfires blaze through Indonesia

The fires in Indonesia are leaving orangutans "without any food or water", Karmele Llano Sanchez, CEO of the wildlife foundation Yayasan Inisiasi Alam Rehabilitasi Indonesia (YIARI) tells the BBC.

Sanchez was part of a team that rescued a weak orangutan that was found laying on the ground in Ketapang, West Kalimantan on Borneo island.

The orangutan found will be moved to a rehabilitation centre to get more treatment and will be released back into the wild after recovery, according to YIARI.

The wildfires have destroyed part of the habitat of hundreds of orangutans and are risking the survival of the species.
