TORONTO — Blue Ant Media announced today Love Nature’s latest original miniseries Becoming Orangutan (above), a follow-up to its hit series Orangutan Jungle School, will premiere on Aug. 20 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Love Nature in Canada and across the brand’s global platforms.
The three-part miniseries “gives audiences an intimate look inside the world’s largest orangutan rehabilitation centre in Nyaru Menteng, Borneo, where orphaned apes are nurtured by specially trained caregivers from the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation,” reads a press release.
“Produced by NHNZ Worldwide, Becoming Orangutan delves deeper into the wild world of Love Nature’s highest-rated original series, Orangutan Jungle School, with new insights and never-before-seen footage of the young apes-turned-TV-superstars as they learn the ropes, make friends and navigate the emotional journey from nursery to graduation,” the release adds.
Blue Ant Media also announced the Love Nature Gives Back initiative has joined forces with the Borneo Orangutan Survival (BOS) Foundation to help raise awareness for orangutan conservation.
“Since the launch of Orangutan Jungle School in August 2019, thousands have been drawn into the world of orangutans. I am confident that Becoming Orangutan will again inspire people around the world as it shares the inspiring stories of the orphaned orangutans who are working everyday to beat the odds,” said Dr. Jamartin Sihite, CEO of the BOS Foundation, in the press release.
“Now, with the launch of ‘Love Nature Gives Back’ viewers can go beyond just connecting and empathizing with their orange ape cousins to also play an active role in the future of orangutan conservation. At this critical time for orangutans, we are delighted to take this collaboration to a whole new level.”
