At Tanjung Puting National Park, rangers live in modest wooden huts with limited electricity and no running water. Twice a day, they carry bundles of bananas and flasks of milk into the forest to feed the wild orangutans that gather near feeding platform. The work is far from lucrative — an average ranger earns around USD 300 a month — yet many describe the chance to care for one of Southeast Asia’s great apes as their true privilege, and the reason they remain in the remote forests of Kalimantan.
