The orangutan is the only great ape that lives in Asia. These gentle creatures of the forest are severely endangered. Their biggest threats are man and deforestation. Orangutans have extremely long arms, however they did not always have such long arms. They were quite content to play on the ground; until one day, a young cheeky orangutan called Pongo decided he wanted to fly like a tarsier. So off he went on a tree top adventure. Little did he know how it would end. Orangutan Swing is the four book in a series of tales that celebrate the wonders of our planets rainforests. It promotes awareness of the need to maintain our delicate eco-system.
