Vet Vibes detours in Indonesia to meet different great apes: some mesmerising orangutans and their human advocates. One of them, in particular, comes on the channel to share his wisdom and philosophy about conservation challenges. Leif Cocks and his primary love for orangutans has developed in a lifetime project to rescue the Indonesian rainforest and all the entitled species that call it home.
