A movement must be set in motion ...Henry, a little orangutan, lives happily and in content with his mother in the rainforests of the island of Borneo. But he has to learn soon enough that his home and his fellow orangutans are threatened by deforestation as well as land clearance by slash-and-burn. In order to find allies and protect his habitat, Henry sets off on a long journey around the globe. But will this help him save his beloved rainforest?
(Author portrait)
Benni Over has a big dream: He wants to protect the orangutans and their habitat. Nothing can stop him, neither the wheelchair and his illness nor the long distance to Indonesia, which he travelled to meet Henry. For years, Benni has been campaigning for the interests of the orangutans and tries to make other people aware of the existing wrongs. Together with his father Klaus he finally wrote the story of "Henry saves the rainforest", which was first made into a film and now published as a children's book.
