Pictures show baby orangutan saved from danger

These heartwarming pictures show a baby orangutan hugging its mum after conservationists saved the pair from a potentially "deadly" encounter with local farmers.

Mama Ris and baby Riska were searching for food after deforestation and devastating fires had destroyed vast swathes of the forest where they were living.

As a result, the primates were in danger of coming into conflict with local farmers on a plantation in the Ketapang district of Indonesian Borneo.
