Orang-utans are beautiful strong apes.
They're habitats are being diminished greatly on Borneo due to palm oil plantations destroying their forest environment.
I took this photo at Sepilok rehabilitation centre where orang-utans are re released into the wild and then the growing communities are supported when required. A great project and I feel so honoured to have seen these fabulous animals up so close.
#saveorangutan. It really devastating when I heard an orangutan was shots with several bullet, point blank.. it's on last month news I suppose. But still... Sad...
That's devestating. I hadn't heard that. :(
In Borneo the Palm Oil industry is destroying their habitats, and I'd imagine it's happening in other areas where Orang-Utans live.
