The Emerald Forest

A powerful and moving picture book showing how wildlife campaigners can help endangered Orangutans.

Orangutan and her family live in a vast emerald forest, bursting with life...until one day a monstrous machine tears Orangutan's tree from the ground. The family have to leave the emerald forest - but where can they go to? This powerful and moving picture book is set in tropical Sumatra, an island that has lost almost half its rainforest cover in recent years. The story graphically describes the reactions of an orangutan family to the destruction of their age-old home, but also shows how wildlife campaigners are bringing hope for the future.
