Introduction

Green the orangutan was found in a drainage canal on a palm oil plantation in Sumatra, Indonesia, partially paralyzed and caked in mud. She died a couple of weeks later, in a hospital room where she had lain, unable to move, on a small child's mattress.

The palm oil plantation had been built where Green's rainforest home once stood, leaving her and thousands more Indonesian orangutans without a habitat.
