Meet
Fergus, Mozart, and my two adopted Orangutans, Rosi and Jarot.
Of course,
Rosi and Jarot don’t live with me, but in the Sumatran forest at rescue centres.

| Rosi |
Separated
from their mothers when babies, and now looked after by The Orangutan Project, Rosi
and Jarot have the chance, along with many other Orangutan babies, to return to
the forest where they belong. If, that is, there is a forest to return to!

| Jarot |
Why were Rosi and Jarot
separated from their mothers at such a young age? Because the rainforest where they live is
being felled for Palm Oil and other crops at an overwhelming rate with the remaining
forest being degraded by drought and forest fires. Extinction, for the Sumatran Orangutan in the
wild is likely in the next 10 years.
Extinction for the Bornean Orangutans following soon after.

Very cute photos all!
ReplyDeleteI despise those greedy folks who gain a profit while endangering people or animals. Of course, I love animals.
Too, I had a friend years ago who had a per orangutan in his home. That rascal was just too cool.
Thank you for your love of animals and your proclivity to reach out to the orangs.
Hello Jeremy, Thank you for commenting. Hopefully the work of The Orangutan Project will make a difference and help these wonderful creatures.
ReplyDeleteSaving our endangered species and their habitats is a very worthy cause and everyone who loves animals appreciates your generous efforts Jill. The pictures are adorable. Kudos to you!
ReplyDeleteHello Crazy Fox. They all look lovely, don't they? Mozart loves to help make the bed, but gets tired and falls asleep.
