The Future of the Orang-utan
"Without trees there are no orang-utans and without orang-utans there are no trees"
"Orang-utans need trees. They are a totally arboreal animal. Without trees there are no orang-utans and without orang-utans there are no trees because they act as seed dispersers."
Also on the programme have we tamed too many rivers? And China's worsening air quality.
