The photo “Face to face in a river in Borneo” – An encounter with an orangutan on a river in Borneo, was taken by Singaporean photographer Jayaprakash Bojan while wading about 1.5m deep in the Sekoyner River in Tanjung Putting National Park, Indonesia. Human encroachment on forest land for palm oil plantations has threatened the orangutans. They normally live in trees but have had to wade into the crocodile-infested riverbed and adapt to the living conditions.
