The book begins with a brief overview of the history of orangutan rehabilitation, from its early days as a haphazard and often unsuccessful endeavor to the present day, when it is a well-established and scientifically informed field. The author then takes the reader on a journey through the different stages of orangutan rehabilitation, from the initial assessment and quarantine to the final release back into the wild.

Along the way, the author introduces us to a cast of unforgettable characters, including Budi, a young orangutan who was orphaned as a baby and must learn to survive in the wild; and Sari, a dedicated veterinarian who has spent her life working to save orangutans. We learn about the challenges that orangutans face in the wild, including habitat loss, poaching, and disease. And we see how the work of rehabilitators can help to give these animals a second chance at life.

The Work of Care in Orangutan Rehabilitation: Experimental Futures is a must-read for anyone interested in animal welfare, conservation, or wildlife rehabilitation. It is a powerful and moving account of the work that goes into caring for these amazing animals and the difference that it can make in their lives.
