The apes were all rescued from wildfires over the summer that threatened their habitats Eight orangutans have been released back into the wild in Borneo after they were taken into captivity when their habitat was threatened by wildfires over the summer.
夏季，这些猩猩都从威胁其栖息地的野火中被救出。 八只猩猩因栖息地在夏季受到野火威胁而被圈养，现已被释放回婆罗洲的野外。
Three mothers, their three daughters and two adult males were freed in a reserve in the west of the island on Friday, International Animal Rescue Indonesia (Yiari) and the forestry ministry said.
印度尼西亚国际动物救援组织（Yiari）和林业部表示，周五，三名母亲、她们的三名女儿和两名成年男性在该岛西部的一个保护区中被释放。
Indonesian authorities rescued 46 orangutans from fires in August and September.
印度尼西亚当局在 8 月和 9 月的火灾中救出了 46 只猩猩。
Wildfires in the region are usual for the country's dry season but intensified this year. The apes are critically endangered.
该地区的野火在该国旱季很常见，但今年更加严重。 类人猿已极度濒临灭绝。
Around 104,000 orangutans remain in Borneo and Sumatra, down from more than 230,000 a century ago, according to conservation group WWF. While Indonesia is among many countries to grapple with wildfires each summer, this year's were more intense due to the El Niño ocean warming phenomenon, which makes weather patterns more volatile and intense.
根据世界自然基金会 (WWF) 的数据，婆罗洲和苏门答腊岛目前约有 104,000 只猩猩，低于一个世纪前的 230,000 多只。 虽然印度尼西亚是每年夏天都要应对野火的许多国家之一，但由于厄尔尼诺海洋变暖现象，今年的野火更加严重，这使得天气模式更加不稳定和严重。
Yiari CEO Karmele Llano Sanchez said relocating the eight orangutans to the reserve was a "necessary step" when their habitats became unsafe.
Yiari 首席执行官 Karmele Llano Sanchez 表示，当八只猩猩的栖息地变得不安全时，将它们重新安置到保护区是“必要的一步”。
Among them was Mama Nopi and her offspring Nopi, Naufal and Nopan, who had been surviving in a coconut and rubber plantation before their rescue in early September, Yiari said.
伊亚里说，其中包括诺皮妈妈和她的后代诺皮、诺法尔和诺潘，他们在九月初获救之前一直在椰子和橡胶种植园里生存。
Fires had incinerated the surrounding forestry, restricting their access to food and bringing them closer to humans.
大火烧毁了周围的森林，限制了它们获取食物的机会，也拉近了它们与人类的距离。
Indonesian authorities rescued 46 of the critically endangered primates from fires in August and September Mama Lifa and her child Lifa were found in a patch of acacia trees entirely surrounded by oil palm plantations.
印度尼西亚当局在 8 月和 9 月的火灾中救出了 46 只极度濒危灵长类动物 利法妈妈和她的孩子利法被发现在一片完全被油棕榈种植园包围的金合欢树中。
The degradation of their habitat by wildfires as well as a lack of food sources prompted their rescue in mid-September.
野火导致它们的栖息地退化，加上缺乏食物来源，促使它们在九月中旬接受救援。
Mama Man and her baby, Man, had been monitored by animal rescuers since June, when they were found living in a plantation area adjacent to a small patch of forest.
自六月起，曼妈妈和她的孩子曼就一直受到动物救援人员的监视，当时他们被发现住在一小片森林附近的种植园里。
Fires that spread near to the site restricted their roaming area further, leaving them without a safe route to other forestry.
现场附近蔓延的大火进一步限制了它们的漫游范围，使它们没有安全的路线前往其他林业。
The threat of exposure to the blazes led to them being evacuated in early September, Yiara said.
伊亚拉说，由于面临火灾的威胁，他们在九月初被疏散。
The reserve these orangutans were released into was chosen because it there is food and water available and it is connected to other forested areas. Yiari's Argitoe Ranting said: "We want to ensure that rescued orangutans are not simply moved from one place to another, but actually have a chance to survive in their natural habitat."
选择这些猩猩被释放到的保护区是因为那里有食物和水，并且与其他森林地区相连。 Yiari 的 Argitoe Ranting 说：“我们希望确保获救的猩猩不是简单地从一个地方转移到另一个地方，而是实际上有机会在自然栖息地生存。”
The orangutans were moved to a reserve connected with other forests and with plenty of natural resources Last month, the International Union for Conservation of Nature warned that wildfires were burning in habitats containing 52% of Borneo's orangutan population.
红毛猩猩被转移到与其他森林相连且自然资源丰富的保护区 上个月，国际自然保护联盟警告称，婆罗洲猩猩 52% 的栖息地正在发生野火。
It says a large portion of the ape's habitat will become inhospitable to them if climate change continues at its current pace.
报告称，如果气候变化以目前的速度持续下去，猿猴的大部分栖息地将变得不适合它们居住。
This year's El Niño has become the strongest on record and is expected to have a knock-on effect on the climate into next year.
今年的厄尔尼诺现象已成为有记录以来最强的一次，预计将对明年的气候产生连锁反应。
Experts have also pointed to land-clearing practices used to make room for plantations as another factor facilitating the spread of wildfires in Indonesia, with naturally fire-resistant forests replaced by less dense and shaded vegetation.
专家还指出，为种植园腾出空间而进行的土地清理做法是促进印度尼西亚野火蔓延的另一个因素，天然耐火的森林被密度较低和遮荫的植被所取代。
That the orangutan's original habitats had been burned and fragmented to the point they could no longer sustain the primates was the main driving factor behind relocating them, Yiara said.
伊亚拉说，猩猩原来的栖息地已被烧毁，支离破碎，无法再维持灵长类动物的生存，这是它们重新安置的主要驱动因素。
