  This work examines the impulse to save a species, combining issues of natural history, travel writing and reflections on motherhood, the reforming zeal of the 1960s and ethics of being Green . Fascinated by the reputation of Birute Galdikas who studied a group of orang-utans in the wild, Linda Spalding took her own journey in order to discover why a woman would commit her life to a malaria-infested swamp and a group of orang-utans.
