Yesterday, National Geographic News posted Tim’s photo story on their website, Photos: Indonesia’s Rampant Fires Threaten Rare Orangutans. A couple of weeks ago Tim was on assignment in Indonesia photographing the devastation. He was on the front lines where people were desperately trying to put out the fires. Not only is this a huge ecological disaster threatening orangutans and other wildlife but it is also effecting the air we breath. Check out Tim’s Instagram (@TimLaman) to see other pictures of the wildfires. To see more pictures of the endangered orangutans the fire is threatening, visit Tim Laman’s Wild Orangutan gallery.
