BABY APE FOREST SCHOOL teaches orphaned chimps, gorillas, and orangutans what they need to survive. Dedicated 24/7 caregivers save lives and help orphans grow in Forest School.

Great Ape orphans from illegal poaching and habitat loss pour into sanctuaries across Equatorial Africa and Borneo and Sumatra. Forest Schools are critical to getting lost lives back on track and perhaps back into the wild.

All footage for this video was obtained through reputable, ethically run wildlife sanctuaries dedicated to caring for their rescued primates while protecting their wild counterparts. Apes Like Us (under GLOBIO) and our partner programs in no way support the exploitation or trade of primates in any capacity (whether legal or illegal).

The sanctuary caretakers shown in this video are experts at caring for these vulnerable, orphaned apes until they are strong enough to join larger primate families at these sanctuaries. Any human contact with these infants is for the babies' physical and mental benefit only.
