Must see orangutan rescue video

Orangutans are critically endangered in the wild because of rapid deforestation and the expansion of palm oil plantations into their rainforest home. If nothing is done to protect these amazing creatures, they will be extinct in just a few years. Orangutan

Every Animal on this earth deserves the right to be protected!!!!!!
Humans are destroying everything, they are their own worst enemy!

I totally agree with your statement 100%.NOW is the TIME for everybody to come together as ONE and help the animals out from the destruction of their HOMES & LIVES,by the HUMANS..

To help in some way to stop the insanity of destruction of swTOP THE INSANITY. our rain forests and the slow deaths of the animals that inhabit these rain forests. It's unconscionable, mindless destruction of the environment for friVolous consumption of mindless by products that serve little purpose for the future generation of mankind and the environment.. Stop the insanity now...

These poor animals must be so confused,their homes being taken away for no reason,yet they are so innocent and gentle to man.
Thats why it is so easy to kill them,as the native people do,when being paid to clear the forests....just to produce palm oil.
It's not just the Orangutangs that suffer,but ALL the other animals and insects,who die in this needless destruction,it's happening on every continent......when are the right people going to be in charge,we must prevent our planet becoming a wasteland,just for profit!!!

A truly majestic animal of our Earth. Desperately needs our help. We have brought their numbers to what they are today. We must give back their habitat and allow them to flourish

last year i volunteered for 2 months at sepilok orangutan rehabilitation centre in sabah borneo, i fell in love with these beautiful apes they are so intelligent with huge deep eyes that tell a multitude of emotions and feelings. that feeling of looking into those eyes stays with you forever. i am desperatly trying to get back out there to give them more help. i am interested in every charity helping the precious man of the forest.

as far as I know they are only found in two parts of the world and in trouble plus how can you not love the little guys?

Natural disasters in the world will end life as we know it,there is no need for humans to destroy or abuse it but many are intent in doing so.
Animals and all creatures deserve a chance of surviving just as much as we do, so it is our duty as living ,feeling, breathing , caring people who have a good quality life, to try and help those who need it the most.

I have experienced a couple of hours walking with these gentle beings in Sipoloc, Borneo. I will never forget.
