Going to ASU as a PHd student in Primatology I interned in Borneo to study Macaques & Orangutan behavior, best 1.5 years of my life
How amazing! What an incredible path for you. I hope your career gives you all that you need and thank you for choosing Primatology. You’re living my dream 😊🇨🇦
Cinta and her sticks, legend 😅
My favourite orangutan
I knew I was in the right place the moment I saw tht name.
@@matthewp9156 just like you lmfao !
Cinta is the goat
She got a stick after Beni for trying to take a coconut from another Orangutan once in Jungle school.
Cinta usually looks for a whipping boy for her sticks ... lol priceless !!!
Lmao whenever chinta is on film she’s just chucking her sticks, what an idol
I love the compassion and care in that doctor's voice thank you for caring so much for these beautiful creatures of God
This is a sad but very well-done documentary. I greatly admire those who are featured and are in service to help these animals.
Thank you 🙏🏽
they restore my faith in humans
Absolutely gut wrenching what we humans have done to this planet and the wonderful creatures that live there.
Oh my god...Iam speechless. This world turned into hell for so many beautiful animals. From now on I’ll check every item I’m going to buy in the future on palm oil
yeah uh ok
@@Skipbo000 I have boycotted all items made with palm oil for over ten years now since I learned of this horrendous situation. I’m just curious why you have a seemingly negative response to this post? Do you not read ingredients to items you purchase? It’s the responsibility of each person to know where the products they consume come from and how they are made. If there’s no demand for palm oil then these beautiful creatures would still have their habitats and so many wouldn’t have been slaughtered.
@@rlb209 because that's not possible. everyone comes into contact with palm oil at some point in time whether they know it or not . that is what is so complicated about this issue.
An excellent documentary highlighting a devastating issue. I have written a chapter book, called 'Sophie's Cause', which is for children aged 5 plus. It heavily features the orangutans in Borneo and the problems with the palm oil industry. I am still looking for a literary agent to take it on (fingers crossed), as I completely believe that children care far more than we give them credit for.
Thank you for making this documentary. People can't make changes if they don't realise what the problems are. My shopping is now completely palm-free, it was difficult, as products aren't always labelled as having palm in them, sometimes palm is given a different name, but I've done it. As a consequence, my Dad then started shopping for palm-free products, then my sister, then her friend. We CAN make a difference. It just takes one person to decide to start.
Thank you 💕
This may be old news to you, but you know you can self-publish, right? Amazon and Smashwords are just two of the online companies that offer these services. In the bad old days you did have to find an agent, and a lot of my English prof friends had 497 copies of their masterpieces in their closets, but there are other ways to get the message out. Good luck.
Best of luck. Many authors choose to self publish these days, and there are lots of options, both paid and free.
This video is so heart breaking,so hard to watch but Thanks for showing their hardships,we all need to see the destruction so we can make contributions to help.
🦧 are now becoming my favorite animals 🥺 they’re so sweet and beautiful 🤩
mine too.
They’re absolutely beautiful👍🏼😊✌🏻
They are incredible! Especially the orphans.
I said no to palm oil I use real butter and olive oil only
ditto...and I like coconut oil...hope that is OK....
I like petrol oil.
Palm oil is in beauty products, detergents and other food products. Check the labels of everything you buy- palm oil isn’t just a cooking oil.
I buy triple the products I need with palm oil anytime I hear someone virtue signalling about avoiding it. At least I did get to see one die. And it probably died because those eggheads sedated it. You never sedate something that weak. Lol. Fuck em, who gives a shit. I like seeing them suffer.
@@shaindaman13hy? Just to be petty? You like killing Orangutans.
if you are able to watch these videos of these beautiful creatures and not feel heartbroken and compelled to help then you are either dead, or a pyschopath!
I cried a lot I have never ever in my life use Palm oil just for this reason
@@miyamcallister yes you do. everyday.
@@Skipbo000 you again 🤡
@@miyamcallister Palm oil is used in many, many things, so please check labels carefully.
This is sickning idgaf if my skin dry af I will not buy no products with palm oil in it this is sad then again I know that's almost not possible but il try my best
LOL - you were so fucking convincing at first.

The Sun bear has always fascinated me. How funny, sweet.
This merits far more views, I think maybe the title needs tweaking to catch more traffic.
Thanks for the input, it was our first foray into doc storytelling, much to learn!
@@barkybakey Well , I would never known it was your first . Very well done .when a grown 51 year old is in tears and heartbroken over the loss of that male orangutan and how informative things were explained you did good. Also you prompted me to look up all about palm oil and deforestation and things I didn’t understand about and I’m sure it made many people want to understand about what’s going on. I’m really hoping you put out more documentaries I cannot say it enough very very well done. Thank you to everyone involved in helping in anyway.🕯☮️💟🙏🏽🕊
Great film! Thank you for sharing your journey and raising awareness! The orangutans need our help🌱
What kind of a cruel, evil, person could do such a thing to this innocent baby😥
The cause of such things is not evil people but bad economic systems. If we really want to stop this kind of thing we need a better economic system, that does not force us to do damage to the world so much.
@@boychildnew1 we're not forced to do anything.
Greedy, insensitive jerks. The kind of people who treat people as possessions.
I don’t know how old this but Dr Paul also was on a show out of India . He was volunteering at rescue there. They only had one season before Covid shut everything down but what a great show. Seeing them rescue elephants that have been abused their whole life. I haven’t seen it show up on U tube but it was call Jungle animal rescue.
Absolutely AMAZING, magnificent animals. 👍
They're simply beautiful.
Excellent program!! It's nice to new programs to see what our $'s are doing.
People need to be educated. When you want a baby orangutan for a pet, some greedy poacher has to hack its mother to death.
This is so sad, thank you all for helping these wonderful animals. If I wasn't low income would help.
Thank God for You, Veterinarians, Carers and Workers. My profound Gratitude. There is another online video of two Carers, who hold the tiny baby by the shoulders, facing away from them, put in a bed, pillow and blankets??? I could not watch, why are they behaving like this... Compared to You ALL and this wonderful facility - NONE? This tiny baby Orangutan was crying, tears on his face. Thank You Angels on Earth💗🙏🏻 Surely You say, there has to be something better than this. Blessings 💕
Am I the only sobbing 😭at the passing of that young orangutan?
yes because we know you're really not.
@@Skipbo000 You are so toxic it's crazy, so many toxic and negative comments from you, this is the third comment from you I read, and it's just as negative as the two previous ones... How miserable are you?
@@Skipbo000 Do you really think you are adding anything to the conversation with your constant negativity? You don't know the commenter. Neither do I, but I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.
This is a great doco, the team effort makes it well worth watching. Thanks and good luck for your future ventures. Yes it is difficult to watch some of the harrowing scenes but the whole palm oil business and its threat to the ecosystem is complex. And if corporations wont do the right thing by the people and the animals of Indonesia (and they wont) then we all need to check our pantries and see how much palm oil we use! Start there! and make changes that benefit the welfare of all. We in the west in particular are guilty of aiding and abetting these practices by being lazy and frankly selfish.
Thank you! I haven’t delved into the comments section much and I really appreciate your positivity:). Check out our latest project ‘my changing planet’ on Insta, we’ll be making a doc soon!
We all can do our part. Stop buying palm oil products and stop cutting down trees that support our lives. Trees clean the air and give oxygen and support life. Humans need to smarten up.
To all the negative response, if it wasn't for these people the babies would be dead. They do get returned back to the wild, maybe not as soon as one would hope. You must remember there mother's teaches them every thing, and without the people they would not learn these surivival,skills, and it takes years.
Not true. Put them with the females that are there and usually they will teach them and protect orphans.
Great program. Very well done and informative. But one small thing-around the 26:30 mark: the sun bear. As cute as this cub is, the adults are extremely vicious omnivores who attack without provocation and are one of the most dangerous animals in the jungle. I’m truly glad they are able to help her and others like her, but facts should also be explained. We tend to Disney-fie wildlife sometimes, much to our own peril. If you see a sun bear-or ANY bear, do NOT approach, no matter how cute they appear.
Yes do not approach any bear, I know the reputation of Sloth bears is as described, sun bears not as much as the sloths. In India I was very weary of coming across them in the wild or without protection in the sanctuary I worked at
This was so so sad and so hard to watch. The loss of this beautiful habitat and wildlife is not worth the money they are getting for it! The tourism would bring everyone good income...they destroying their future...and their children's future...
Chinta is my favorite. I just watched season 1 of Orangutan Jungle School. She's hilarious!
I thought she was called cinta like when they say the put the names of the orangutans
I like Beni and Valentino they are both so cute
@@red_cii5738 Yes! They are too❤️ they all are. How can you not love them!
Keep it to yourself
@@red_cii5738 Same. Beni is my favorite. Followedclosely by Valentino.💓❤😁
I know the school videos were filmed quite a long time ago I still feel like its now
I can't imagine the pain that orangutan was in. That was really hard to watch. That poor soul :(
I just m love these sweet tiny Orangs!
Thank you for what you guys do! Peace ✌️
God bless that little girl oh, she's so beautiful❤❤❤
my heart go out to yall and the the amenals
theyre just so beautiful...
Great setting COP showcased. It's a great organisation! Popi 💖💖
Cinta's signature move to grab a stick and throw at. Seen this is many of her videos..
This documentary is so real and his version also so connected, I watched this several times.
You can see how sweet these Orangs are and they don't act like a spoiled brat. I just hate hoe these adorable, smart animals are treated. I know the Macaques breed like there's no tomorrow. They are so overpopulated and act like entitled brats. They scream, squeal and are total gluttons. My sweet Orangutans are limited as to where to live due to deforestation. They don't throw tantrums or act like entitled brats that expect humans to feed them. These cute guys laugh, they are laid back and I love and feel their warmth when they smile as they look at those who rescue them. You can clearly look into their eyes and see the depth of their soul.❤ These are my favorite wild animals that are part of the "Great Apes". Taking care and teaching them would be the ultimate job to show them many traits of living in the wild. Thank you for looking out for these smart, laid back &.very intelligent relatives that are attached to all of us. Thank you for taking care of such beautiful creatures and to help them to survive back in the wild! God Bless all of you.❤😂
My goal is to come to Borneo it's in my bucket list I love the orangutans and I just like to see them before let me make her you know
I as well as many others I'm sure would love to donate, but there is so much fraud in non profits that make me and probably others hesitant.
@@dabooser1048 You can donate directly to www.internationalanimalrescue.org
This is both disheartening and encouraging. We can reverse these evils being done. Let's all work together and fix the problems plaguing our planet, as Global Citizens, we must fight to save our planet.
Too many psychopath's in too many government's running countries around the world. What a sad state. We can't even look after the poor in the world let alone wild animals. Sad.
I feel so very very sad for these animals and others like them, I love all animals but primates are my favourite they are so special. As humans as people I don’t understand the greed and destruction of the planet. We have all we could possibly want. We should focus on those less fortunate than our selfs and the innocent defenceless animals of which so many are becoming extinct.
You guys are amazing, the wild life needs protecting, we need more like you, something I would have loved to have done 👍🏻👏😊😘💞🤗💞💞💞💞
Excellent, thanks!
I admire you guys, Hugs for Patty💙 Great Documentary!
Thank you for all you do to our cousins and other animals
You are all amazing.
Take a bow 👏
These videos make me cry. But it's so amazing what these people are doin. Orangs are my fav, I'd love to be able to work with them. But I couldn't coz I'd get to attached to them. I try n watch all these docs, n as soon as I found out them loosin their homes I look jus to make sure I don't buy anything with palm oil n it. Keep up the amazing job y'all are doin, God bless y'all ❤️ ❤️
Awwww makes you wanna Hug Patty💙🥰😘 They are All so cute and Sweet
Great people in our world. Thanks for you work god bless you all to continue your loving work.
God bless u guys for ur hard work
So sad to see him pass away 😪
I love to watch this vid 💖👍🏻 thank you good people's
Heart breaking offset by truly amazing dedicated animal welfare people. The world is fortunate to have people like these. Thank you so very much.
Nabisco uses Palm oil, town house doesn't use Palm oil. If you want to help these animals always check your ingredients before you buy.
Thank you for that Gloria!
sorry gotta have my Triscuits!!
It's not just the cookie & cracker business. Palm oil is everywhere. Then, just like most other things, in 10yr we'll hear how damaging these ingredients are for our health. On the other hand humans are the most cruel & devious predators on earth. We alone can destroy this beautiful planet that God gave us and for purely selfish reasons. Until we learn how to be responsible for our cruel & destructive actions we will suffer the consequences. I believe that we've become too smart for our own good.
Thank God some were charged over this poor creatures death. I’ve been watching orangutans for a while, and it is rare to hear of anyone being held accountable.
Ohhhhhhhh
Myyyyyyyyy
Goooooood, LOOK AT HATTIE'S INCREDIBLY HUMAN EYES!! 👀.SHE IS JUST SO DARN CUTE AND ADORABLE! GOD BLESS YOU PEOPLE FOR CARING AND ACTUALLY SHOWING IT!!!😘😚😚AWWWWWW!!🙊🙉🙈
This bought tears to my eyes. I’am so sorry you couldn’t save him😢
Idk how as a vet seeing that orangutan so abused with no life. I’m 51 years old looking at my dog and cat and thinking why did they abuse him like that? Why do these people want hurt them? I know they kill adults to get babies but why then harm the baby? They aren’t aggressive so why? I’m glad at least that male baby orangutan had some affection prior to death. It hurts me to think he never got to see humans aren’t all terrible but he had one foot missing and 130 shot wounds. I guess his body couldn’t hold out anymore. The desire they have to live with so much pain is amazing. You guys are awesome humans. Thank you for trying. You guys have your all driving in dark bad conditions over 12 hours.
Actually, the island of Borneo is divided between three countries…Indonesia, Malaysia & Brunei. The two major orang utan sanctuaries are located in Kalimantan, Indonesia & Sabah, Malaysia.
Fantastic but sometimes heartbreaking video. 🥰🥰
Amazing! We all must help to save that amazing animal
yeah we should... hey can you pass me my beer?
Yep, a heavy artillery is always in Chinta’s hand
Very cute
Interesting
The planet needs more people like this, well done to crew, carers and donors. Population goes up and everyone wants more - remember people the tipping point is getting closer every day. Sounds like a Global CATASTROPHE will have to occur before we change our diets away from palm oil?
that was a great doco thank you covering the palm oil problem. unfortunately when your aussie mate was shopping he was buying junk food products that would have contained palm oil hence highlighting (& ignoring) the very issue at hand! :( please talk more about the solution which is to stop supporting the trade by buying certain products containing this stuff. great to see you planting durian.
Everyone in this video are true heros
You feel bad?!? I'm miserable after watching that lil boy lose his life for no reason except at the hands of humans. 😭😭😭 why? Why do people have to be so frickin cruel? The whole world is going to hell in a hand basket. My favorite primate had always been the orangutan. Ever since I was lil and id went thi the zoo and made an orangutan friend. I lip smacked tho it and it got closer and I talked to it like I would a human and it just sat watching me. I was at it's enclosure for better than an hour. We connected in my mind! RIP lil one!!
What little boy? I saw no little boy die here?
@@kiki29073 the young male orangutan who suffered so bad.
When I was a kid my family usually take me to see some orangutans and I thought it was cool because they were just like us and about the palm oil, I thought the palm oil was something good that can be eaten by orangutans and it's actually not...
damn, i don't want to eat a food that has palm oil in it no more because that's really affects the orangutans homes
it is fed to feed in new zealand, as a food supplement. so indirectly dairy foods from nz cows have had it.
it's also in many things like cosmetics, shampoos, conditioners, skin creams. totally unnecessary. many other oils could be used. they use it because it is 'cheap' look what it actually cost. boycott its use.
Es triste ver la destrucción del bosque pero a la ves es bonito ver estas personas dedicadas al cuidado de los animalitos
😄🥭 These sunbears get daily "Easter egg hunts"
Legal o trabalho de voces sou apaixonada por primatas sou do Brasil
Ooh gawd…. No idea why I saw this video…. My heart is crying 😭
God bless that poor orangutan's soul. My heart aches for the orangutans. They are such incredible, kind, and gentle creatures that never ever deserve the horrors they suffer in their own homeland. Orangutans are better than so many humans. That sweet boy hung on for dear life, but lost his life due to vicious cruelty. How the hell does a person take a machete to a innocent animal without any remorse, no feeling, and take the baby? God bless the good decent medical team and caregivers who do everything possible to save the lives of the orangutans.
Love to see these precious creatures swinging in the treetops.
DAAM REALLY BROKE MY HEART SAD
That sun bear is adorable
Each one of these beautiful babies means one brutally murdered adult (a mother at that) is absolutely heartbreaking and it makes me so angry that this is remotely allowed to happen but thank God for the angels of this sanctuary❤
So heart breaking...... people are so cruel ... at least y'all tryed to save him
MY heart is breaking
How many documentaries is it going to take?
The more I watch documentaries like this, the more I actually despise humanity for causing so much harm to our surroundings.
Look for the human helpers. They are present.
When they have that spikey hair do just kills me. LOL
Let’s boycott products containing palm oil
I have started not using palm oil.
Epic Cinta and her sticks, lol.
When the rain forest is gone we are all gonna suffer people. We are gonna see the weather change dramatically. So we need to say no to Palm oil and let those know that use it in their products we aren't buying anymore.
Do not buy palm oil. It is put in ice cream, Nutella and the like. Please read the labels.
oh i lOVE Nutella
@@Skipbo000You are the problem. Your comments are noted.
Me to.
Let’s all do what it takes to make a difference please stop deforestation it’s killing our planet and our precious animals
Sad,but so true
ok no more soap for you.
Don't buy products with palm oil. One person at a time.
So sad, this just make me so sad, what this poor guy has been threw, just trying to live.
cinta with the stick lol
@Pappy Van Winkle No
I want to work in this field. I am drawn to Borneo, Cambodia, Vietnam or possibly Africa. I do know Borneo is desperate for help because of those dam palm trees. In a few years I will be somewhere fighting to save monkeys.
The videos amazing man I really want to go there now I just see these beautiful creatures but then jungle thunderstorms and then the whole another country and another place different than his burnout America and all the stuff is going on here. It'd be nice to get away
My neighbor works in one of the companies, he told us about the ferocity of orangutans. How orangutans are so troublesome & detrimental. He told how the workers caught and tortured & killed the orangutans, then laughed. Really, this woke me up, made me see the dark side of humans.
I can't see him as I used to anymore after he told his story. Yes, he's a very good neighbor, friendly, helpful, but...
😔😔
That's sad 😞
Horrifying.🙏 We humans. ?? 🙏
It’s our responsibility to protect the ones that have no voice
We humans are the biggest threat to them and other animals. It's so sad to say that we are the problem, but it is true!
This is so sad, yet I'm encouraged that some of us are working to bring our cousins back from extinction. It would be a tragic irony if these primates were driven to extinction by other primates. And as time goes on, we are finding out that conserving rainforests are in our mutual interests. We need to think and try to make intelligent choices.
I Love them so much!! And it’s so true when you look deep into their eyes they talk to you.What these people are doing for some cheap oil is Sad.😞😡💔
