Deep in the heart of Northern Sumatra live the “people of the forest”, the Sumatran orangutan, whose name is derived from the local words orang (people) and hutan (forest). We had the rare treat of seeing these animals in the wild in Gunung Leuser National Park in Sumatra Indonesia, along with many other forest inhabitants.
