Critically endangered apes have been saved following devastating wildfires that ravaged their natural habitat over the past two months. Conservationists acted swiftly to remove the animals from the flames, which wiped out large sections of their forest home. The rescue effort comes as experts warn that such fires pose an existential threat to already vulnerable species. Details on the apes’ condition and long-term survival prospects remain under review.
The critically endangered apes were rescued from intense wildfires that destroyed their habitat in August and September.
