This is the moment an endangered orangutan was rescued from its habitat after its forestry had been butchered by illegal gold mining and logging.

Footage shows the distressed orangutan sitting amongst the debris of his former home before rescue teams anaesthetise him with a dart gun.

Workers can then be seen lifting the animal into a net before carting him on the back of a rescue van.

The 20-year-old male orangutan is then released to a confined safe haven after it had spent the last month disorientated.

This footage was filmed on January 24.
