The Orangutan habitat destruction in Borneo is so massive and widespread that their survival is at stake. In the coming years it will be decided whether we will have only pictures such as these to stare at, or actual real life wild Orangutans, feeding and breeding in their natural habitat, or what's left of it.

JungleDragon just donated 100 USD to the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation:

It's a small gesture, but every Orangutan helped is worthy at this point in time.

    A couple of years ago after a visit to the Hong Kong Zoo, where they were so sad in their cages, I decided to never visit a Zoo again! They broke my heart. Posted 11 years ago
