An orangutans desperate attempt to fight a bulldozer on Sir David Attenboroughs new BBC documentary has laid bare the heartbreaking reality of deforestation.
In the documentary, Climate Change: The Facts, the ginger ape scampers along a fallen tree trunk towards the digger, which has destroyed its home in Borneo.
It lunges at the heavy machinery but hes no match for the big claw and it falls helplessly into the branches below.
Many viewers were left heartbroken by the documentary and the plight of the orangutan.

One person wrote: Seeing the Orangutan trying to stop the bulldozer broke my heart.
Another said: Im so sad and feel physically sick, esp the clip of the poor Orangutan hanging off the trees as they were being chopped off.
The distressing footage of the orangutan was originally shared by the International Animal Rescue (IAR) last year.
An IAR rescue worker can be seen in the video, edging closer with a dart gun as the ape falls.
The charity said they managed to rescue the animal and take it to safety.Read More – Source
