Sumatra in Western Indonesia is known for its incredible biodiversity - the tropical rainforests home to orangutans, tigers and the world's smallest rhinoceros.
But these animals are also all critically endangered. The continued demand for exotic pets and rhino horn combined with deforestation, has left many homeless, caged or dead.
Conservation of this precious part of the world is a global effort and with recent flood damage to crucial facilities at an orangutan rescue centre, New Zealand is stepping up, with Auckland Zoo funding $30,000 NZD towards recovery.
Amy Robbins is the deputy curator of mammals at Auckland Zoo - and an orangutan expert - and tells Anna all about the conservation effort.
