Borneo Apes - Malaysia

October 2006By some estimates, Borneo's vast forests are being cleared faster than the Amazon. Unless something is done now, Orang-utans could be extinct in 20 years. The practice of bulldozing everything to make way for palm oil plantations has left Orang-utans without their customary habitat. "Palm oil is totally destructive. They're cutting down every single tree", complains Lone Droescher-Nieslen from the Orang-utan Survival Foundation. When the forests disappear, Orang-utans cling to any stump in the cleared land, unable to understand their homes are gone. It's left to charities to rescue the apes before the plantation workers kill them. Lone hopes she can rehabilitate the Orang-utans back into the wild. But if the rate of de-forestation continues, there may soon be no forests to release them into.

go to the BOS website - it will give you a link so you can donate

Guys get behind BOS and donate - these are our closest living relatives and looking into a babies eyes is just like looking into our own kids eyes. They didnt ask for this to happen, so we need to STOP and THINK about what we buy and who we donate our money too. Come on give a little. (BBC has a DVD out "Orangutan Diary" get it and have a look at how amazing these creatures are!!!!)

This video was too disturbing to comment on when first I viewed it 1-year ago. BOSF now has more than 600 orangs. Will next year be 800? As a visitor, I have witnessed the incredible volumes of smoke coming across the Strait. The air is unbreathable, choking. I am told, "It's controlled burns from Indonesia." I didn't know that I was inhaling burnt orangs. It's not just orangs dying, but hundreds of species.

You need a donation link for this rescue org. I've seen other pieces about them, they do hard work very well. They deserve more funding to help these orangutans as much as possible, and to educate the people around there.
