Eight orangutans have been released back into the wild in Borneo after they were taken into captivity when their habitat was threatened by wildfires over the summer. Three mothers, their three daughters and two adult males were freed in a reserve in the west of the island on Friday, International Animal Rescue Indonesia (Yiari) and the forestry ministry said. Indonesian authorities rescued 46 orangutans from fires in August and September. Wildfires in the region are usual for the country's dry season but intensified this year.
