Their parents having been killed when their natural habitat of the rainforest was destroyed to make way for palm crops. Paul gets hands-on straight away, helping to care for and rehabilitate the animals.
In episode two, Paul returns to the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre, where he meets five-year-old Boogie Boy. Two months earlier, Boogie Boy fell out of a tree and broke his arm and is now having physiotherapy. Paul helps distract Boogie while the ranger manipulates his arm. Later, Boogie has to go to the local human clinic for an x-ray to check the fracture has healed. It has, so Paul takes him back to the ropes where the other orangutans are learning to climb. No-one knows whether the fall will have affected his confidence.
In episode one Paul arrives in Sabah, the Malaysian part of Borneo and finds the heat difficult to deal with.
Paul heads straight for the orangutan rehabilitation centre in Sepilok where he meets Sue Sheward MBE, the founder of Orangutan Appeal UK, the largest fundraiser for the centre. Forest fires across Borneo are clearing the jungle for agriculture and many orangutans have either been killed in the fires or shot when they venture out to farmland to find food.
