In episode one Paul arrives in Sabah, the Malaysian part of Borneo and finds the heat difficult to deal with.
Paul heads straight for the orangutan rehabilitation centre in Sepilok where he meets Sue Sheward MBE, the founder of Orangutan Appeal UK, the largest fundraiser for the centre. Forest fires across Borneo are clearing the jungle for agriculture and many orangutans have either been killed in the fires or shot when they venture out to farmland to find food.
