Viewers of Sir David Attenborough's new documentary were moved to tears over a heartbreaking battle between an orangutan and a bulldozer destroying its home.

During the distressful scene, the primate attempted to save its home from the machinery before being forced to flee.

The series showed how huge areas of rainforest were being ripped down and replaced with palm oil plantations, according to the Mirror.

During the latest episode, cameras captured the moment a desperate orangutan tried to shove a bulldozer as it tore down trees in its path.

The animal was seen frantically trying to beat the machine away before fleeing the area.

Looking at their faces, it's hard not to see the connection to humans. Looking at his body is like looking in a mirror

Damn, feel bad for him, he’s just trying to defend his home

Those guys were getting wayyyy too close, they’re lucky he didn’t rip one of their arms off and beat them to death with it. A pissed off and confused primate is dangerous.

Orangutans aren't chimpanzees, they're very peaceful and laid back compared to them.

How dare people in the third world plant crops!  They are supposed to live in abject poverty and enjoy it for the sake of the planet.

David Attenborough is a faggot that uses monkeys to justify making the british pay ten bucks a gallon for gas and pay half their income to the state.

If he wants to save the world from us consumers maybe he should tell the inbreds in his social strata to stop brining third worlders to the first world where they will consume ten thousand times the resources they would have if they had stayed where they were.

Fucking hypocrite bitch... oh, and fuck that monkey.

And the problem is they're planting trees for palm oil. Out of all the oils, palm oil requires the least amount of footprint/resources/pesticides, etc..

So if morons watch a video like this and think "I'm going to boycott palm oil," it will only create a worse issue because countries will resort to other oils which cause greater deforestation.

Not really our fault that the monkey isn't smart enough to build a machine to do battle will our machine.

Maybe if the fucking thing stopped scratching its ass and actually applied itself it wouldn't be losing its habitat.

Dumbass.

ETA: That video is the perfect allegory for gentrification and urban renewal.

Plantations for palm oil are owned by foreign interests. Nestle chief among them. Think rubber plantations in Viet Nam

Nah man, surely its the third world finally figuring it out on their own and expressing their right to self determination.

No way some local governor sort got paid off to allow this to happen. Doesn't happen.

The older I get, the less I care about palm oil, and the more I value the natural world. There is a point where more progress and less wilderness is a very, very bad thing.

I’m not bothered at all.

The folks running the equipment need jobs and the orangutan wasn’t exactly helping the GDP

I actually learned something watching Will Smiths documentary, I was surprised that it wasn’t all doom and gloom. Actually said that the rain forest doesn’t contribute air to surrounding areas. There’s so much life it all gets used. We get most of our oxygen from the ocean blooms of phytoplankton.

Man, you’d think swinging around in trees all day would develop your upper body better.

I read the article, refuse to watch the video... did they say where this was? Somewhere on Borneo, I presume? Are there even orangutans left elsewhere?

Why don’t they just let the orangutans emigrate to London or MSP?

Give them a flat and a welfare card.    Win/win for everybody.
