She trekked through the dense jungle of Sumatra, from 400ft above sea level to 1000ft, in 93 per cent humidity but Tracey Courtney discovered the pain had plenty of gain when she came across this touching pair of orangutans. The mother and baby along with what remains of the wild orangutans, are endangered thanks to big corporations replanting the jungle with palm oil trees used for confectionery, potato chips and packaged foods.
Tracey will hold a fundraiser, including a slide show of her jungle trek, at Barchino Restaurant, Nobby Beach, this Thursday April 22, at 6.oopm. Monies Raised will go to Rainforest Rescue, http://www.rainforestrescue.org.au/
