The relocation buys days, not seasons. The centre spent resources pulling animals inward while the meteorological agency already knows the dry pattern holds through October, which means fundraising for hoses treats the symptom after land clearing set the match and El Niño made the clearing someone else's problem to contain.

Flames threatened the Yiari orangutan rehabilitation centre this week. The fire moved rapidly from 1km away to within 100 metres of the perimeter within days, prompting staff to relocate the 60 resident orangutans to enclosures in the middle of the centre.

    Pulling animals inward is the verb when the actual plan is we have no containment and the middle is just later. Dry pattern holds through October is the agency being factual while the centre gets to pretend temporary enclosures count as strategy instead of waiting for wind direction to pick the date.
