A Wild Education explores how the curriculum works through the eyes of a brand-new arrival at the Nyaru Menteng Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre. Little does this baby know what her future will hold as she’s enrolled in nursery school and she takes the first steps towards mastering a curriculum that includes climbing, nest building, and foraging. Tiny Topan’s journey is juxtaposed with the story of 16-year-old male Kasper who faces graduation as he is released into the wild.
