What do you do when everything you've called home disappears before your very eyes?
This year, wildfires in Indonesia destroyed five million acres of forest and the homes of countless animals.
"The forest around him is totally devastated; all we see is black ash, soil and plantations. There are no more big trees. If we had not rescued Mata, he would have been left to starve and die, or would have been shot by a farmer," wrote International Animal Rescue (IAR) in a Facebook post.
"The saddest image you can think of is a magnificent orangutan that should be travelling in the top of the canopy but instead has to drag itself on the ground, struggling even to find a standing tree suitable to make a nest," wrote Gail Campbell-Smith, program manager of IAR, in Indonesia.
He ran off for a moment, then collapsed to the ground.
Currently, IAR is housing Mata in its center as it searches for new home for him: a home where an orangutan can thrive.
IAR has successfully released many orangutans back into the wild after tragic scenarios such as Mata's.
Below, a mother and child orangutan are released back into wild, full of trees for climbing, which is the very first thing this family does once they are free again.
