Synopsis: Birute Galdikas has dedicated her life to saving orangutans from extinction as their habitat is wiped out by the timber industry. She has been observer, mother, and above all protector of these playful and intelligent animals for 23 years deep in the jungle, and retains a fascination of them to this very day. Orangutan numbers have halved in 10 years, but Galdakis continues to work hard for their survival. This piece has haunting footage of the fast disappearing jungle as Galdikas travels up-river to her base 'Camp Leakey'.

Dr Galdikas is so calm, patient, kind, gentle and soft spoken that you can't help but feel calmer observing and listening to her and with her doing what she loves to do, in a peaceful environment, she might live to be 150 yrs old.
Why would she live to be 150? That will never ever happen.
Birute Galdikas is a wonderful primatologist. She’s also a kind and loving 🥰 real-life fairy 🧚♀️ godmother to orphaned baby 🍼👶🏼 orangutans 🦧 on the island 🌴 of Borneo in Indonesia 🇮🇩.
Actually she's not a decent person in real life. She exploits the orangs in order to fund her own lifestyle an charges people to come an see them as if its an amusement park
Thanks for this little biopic on Birute. Due to differences amongst researchers, Birute's achievements have been sorely understated, understood or acknowledged. All new fields of research come with varying opinions on how it should be performed. I very much wanted to apply for a position as her Personal Assistant when it opened up (about 2005'ish) but couldn't pass the physical for worldwide travel. Whoever was chosen, has a dream job of their lifetime!
All I know BG is no longer work in Borneo, her lisence is revoked because her controversial practices, she never reported her research to our government, they accused BG got donation but never trully work for orang utan cause.
What really makes orangutans special is just that they are living creatures who do SHOW loyalty, gratitude, and love to living creatures who have helped them in any way, contrary to humans, who most of the time are disloyal, ungrateful and indifferent even to the ones who happen to help them!
Absolutely love these beautiful animals ! I've known about them for 30 years and I remember hearing and reading about the palm oil plants trees being planted so they could feed the world with sugary all types of foods and other items that was used for. And I've tried to avoid buying anything the palm oil in it and that can be a challenge. But when it started watching on RUclips everything I could get on these beautiful smart loving nurturing human like I wanted to come to Borneo. If only to be a volunteer I'd sleep outside with just an umbrella to be by them to help in any way I could. But then this covid hit it's kind of put a stop on things for now. But it is on my Someday List of things I want to do. 🕊️🌎💞
If you put that type of effort as you did complaining to strangers you would have
I love her answer to that question what makes Orangutans so special and she said just everything about them is beautiful I love that exactly how I feel
Think about how very smart and very curious they are, it’s beyond sweet
they are very smart. I often see the in the library, in the philosophy section
DID IT AGAIN! Thank you Journeymanpictures
and last week (on Nov 11th) the new video was uploaded by the national television in Indonesia about killing of orang utans. The mass murder of orang utans was extremely cruel and it was supported by the palm oil company and the execution did by the local people near the forest where orang utans lived.
We need your support to push our government in Indonesia to save orang utans n protect them. Coz the conservation is not enough without support our the government
These creatures are so beautiful in every age I don't know what is wrong with people
0:55 A young orangutan is curious about a camera (or tripod). Plus I recognize the clarinet music up to that point, from Peter & the Wolf.
What an angel 👼🏻 this woman was or is……miss you…love you 🤗🤗🤗😘😘😘
She is such a wonderful woman. God bless her Family❤
I love you Dr. Birute you're a beautiful lady with a beautiful heart, thanks a lot for your work for orangutans, God bless you wherever you are 🙏
Thank God there's people like her in this world.
Just a wonderful women. Thank you
Beautiful... thank you from the bottom of my heart... I hope that one day I build the perfect arrangements to get to do the same thing.... helping and dedicating myself to the Orangutans... All my love❤🌈
very lovely mina...i hope your dream comes true
thankyou
excellent
I see the doctor genuinely loves these beautiful beings.
I love orangutans 😍
The good doctor was quite a looker back in the day, sad we cant all be young forever:(
bubble. She is smart...mr mirror
There are few people that will devote there lives for this noble cause. I came late but I do care for these great apes.
Wanna know some dark facts about what this lady had withness? While she was out in the jungle one day with her female cook, a crazed male orangutan named Gundul attacked the cook and mounted her. The women were unable to fight the beast off, and the orangutan proceeded to mate with the cook as she lay in the arms of the helpless Galdikas.
what is the situation of orangutans in indonesia today? where is the mother of orangutans these days?
Kind of seems like in the early days at least - the orangutan was learning to be human even if they were not trying to humanize them, simply by watching and learning instead of being made to be wild - it's seems that it's too easy for one to be humanized as they can do it to themselves by just being curious and mimicking what they see and being exposed to thing humans have,
Thanks to people like Birute Galdikas, and Lona Nielson, people are being educated and Orangutans are being rescued. NO more palm kernel oil for me. God Bless. :)
Does that carer not have the sense to remove the creature clinging to his/her leg?
Tengo una compañía teatral. Soy escritora. Cómo puedo ayudar. Amo a mis hermanos orangutanes. Saludos desde Cancún México.
Yo opino que se puede ayudar apoyando financieramente a organizaciones y santuarios, legítimos, que en verdad buscan el bienestar de esta especie. Yo también amo a los orangutanes y absolutamente a todos los animales, pero especialmente a aquellos que son victimas de nuestra propia raza humana!... damn disgusting!!! Saludos desde California amiga!!
5:00 she's addicted to caffeine just like me ☺
Peter and the orangutan!!
@AthosAmo LOL. I said "dam" instead of "damn" because I'm used to bypassing the censoring of another site I go to.
6:37 so _'effed_-up
5:36 and 10:57
What a beautiful woman!
P.S. I love Orangutans! God's creatures! Not our cousins. I can back it up if you wish. I just don't feel like it now.
Orangutan does not mean "person of the forest" it means Man of the forest. when correctly interpreted.
What! watch those pronouns bubb.
Nope it means the old man of the forest
To sleep I go. Good day to you, European sir.
I love orangutan🦧❤❤❤ they are so precious and cute.
@sdrawkcabgnipytmi By the way, do they "get dates within a couple percent" for every case? What is the percentage of times you get lucky? Even if you can prove one case, it could just be the exception to the rule. You need to make it "the rule" if you're going to solve the problem of dating fossils, since there's more than a handful of them.
:20 orangutan doesn't mean person of forest it means man of forest 🙄
hey it's Mrs Doubtfire! lol
joking aside.. how amazing are orang utans? i used to think they were a bit creepy, till I found out how sweet, sensitive, curious, playful and funny they are.
they were making pancakes! how sweet is that... and painting the house.
and yet their habitat and therefore existence is being destroyed for palm oil. shame. check out the packets of whatever you like eat, junck food, all bakery goods, savoury snack food - 90% chance there's palm oil in it. ,
Dictionary. com's first entry on "gravity" is "the force of attraction by which terrestrial bodies tend to fall toward the center of the earth." Of course, earth is not the only thing with that "force," but the point is that I can call that acceleration "gravity," and if you don't like it, too bad. Since the definition of species is subjective, so is every claim of speciation. You are arguing for a MERE OPINION. ANYONE can make imaginary connections between species as ancients did between stars.
@sdrawkcabgnipytmi The family tree you speak of is always changing according to new facts and new interpretations of facts. If something is found that contradicts an already assumed "family tree," that would not falsify common descent, but rather connections in the tree. Connections between species are adjusted. The fundamental assumption of common descent, unaffected.
Gravity is an undeniable reality we can sense, unlike speciation. Theories of gravity don't interest me, so I don't know.
@sdrawkcabgnipytmi Also, the foundation for EVERY SINGLE CLAIM of speciation is the definition of species. You know that there are several definitions, and not one of them is a "one size fits all" type. Every definition is subjective, making every claim of speciation an opinion. So to claim it's speciation when one fly evolves into another fly (which to me are just races of the same species) is EQUALLY (IN)VALID as the contrary opinion.
And gravity is the name I give that acceleration.
@sdrawkcabgnipytmi But how would you know when they appear seeing as how the dating methods are unreliable? Again, assuming that the things dated were quarantined for AEONS is absurd, since earth ALWAYS changes.
Still got nothing.
@sdrawkcabgnipytmi Yes, dictionaries describe common usage, and I WAS USING "gravity" in the common way. So don't have a cow.
"...the evidence clearly shows evolution above the species level by ANY definition." No. lol. No. The evidence is interpreted. That you can't falsify common descent shows that common descent is unscientific.
4:58 *Shame!* on you
[ that Birute doesn't disqualify such behavior, nor insist producers excise such footage 5:16 from their feature doc, only speaks volume$ to her genuine makeup ]
I'm sure some creationists lie just as the establishment also lies. It's just that you were asking for examples of specific cases of different dates from the same material, and that requires taking SOMEONE at their word -be it creationists or macroevolutionists. The latter would rarely be honest about that. The former have an agenda to do it. Either way, both are biased. And you asked me for specifics. I just explained what that would mean.
I am an evolutionist, so get it right. Speciation.
@sdrawkcabgnipytmi Stop begging the question. I'm no troll. I'm just someone who thinks for himself. Try it.
@sdrawkcabgnipytmi And if I give you specific examples, it will involve 1. creationists whose word you won't accept, and 2. my taking them at their word (which would put me at risk, because I wasn't there). In the end, if we're going to get examples of dates, it's going to be taking people at their words. But as I said, I don't need to take anyone at their word; I can tell just by reason that dates won't be consistent. That earth always changes contradicts that fossils are quarantined for long.
@sdrawkcabgnipytmi Your attempted falsification event failed. You said: "Finding fossils and gene sequences that don't fit this patter would falsify common decent." So I said: "If something is found that contradicts an already assumed 'family tree,' that would not falsify common descent, but rather connections in the tree. Connections between species are adjusted. The fundamental assumption of common descent, unaffected."
But you went on in your denial. Because you're honest like that.
@sdrawkcabgnipytmi Nah. I'll respond. "Evolution isn't defined in terms of species or speciation." Not by the establishment, it isn't, but you asked me what I believe evolution is, so I answered.
@sdrawkcabgnipytmi Macro-evolution is not "just the accumulation of" micro-evolution. It's the assumption that your side begs the question for. If you give evolution as much time as you wish, a fly will constantly evolve to suit its environment, but it will remain a fly. I assume that there are limits, whereas you assume that there are practically no limits. In your paradigm,, a group of neo-nazis can evolve into a superiour, new species if isolated from others in a space colony. Continued...
@sdrawkcabgnipytmi That's your empty claim. I don't take you at your word. Do better than that.
And it's not impossible to get lucky and get dates that are real close. You rely on probability when it suits you, but not when it doesn't.
I told you I don't have to do anything for you when you can't show how they adequately deal with contamination in every case.
@sdrawkcabgnipytmi The difference between me taking some random creationists at their word and you taking the establishment at its word is that, as I already told you, I don't depend on the creationists to be right. I depend on the fact that fossils are not quarantined. Whereas you have merely wishful thinking -that scientists can deal with their assumption of reliable dates adequately. I notice you don't say how. It's because you got nothing.
@sdrawkcabgnipytmi Your demands for me to define evolution came after your assertion that scientists could overcome the fatal problem of contamination of fossils dated.
You are clearly unwilling to fulfill your responsibility, and have clearly tried to change the subject (and probably will continue to try to), so... A Dios contigo.
@sdrawkcabgnipytmi You are in a corner now, paper tiger... lol. You are resorting to semantics, paper tiger. lol.
I was referencing the establishment's definition of micro-evolution, but pointing out that all definitions of species are opinionated. And since they define species in such a way as to "get away with" demonstrating speciation with an event like the morphing of a fly into -GASP!- another fly, I obviously don't use their definition of species. Mine is as good as theirs.
You have never falsified the "theory" of "evolution" with an imaginary scenario, so you failed at defending it. The verdict: UNSCIENTIFIC.
Will you pls just shut the fuck up
@sdrawkcabgnipytmi Evolution is real, but not macro-evolution. Universal common descent is unfalsifiable, making it unscientific. Can you give me an example that would falsify common descent? You'll be the first.
OMG SISWI IS SO YOUNG!! wow this is old. Siswi bathes herself down by the dock, with like actual soaP!!!!! SHes SMart woman i mean orangutan. She is Much much older now. After this pandemic has subsided, i encourage everyone to visit Camp Leakey. Just watch out for jessica, shell take your hand and hold you for hours till a park guide brings the good stuff! then maybe she will let you go. Ahh yes that ORANG has made many of hostage LOL SUCKERS!!!! I know you got goodies!
@sdrawkcabgnipytmi You were misleading by portraying ALL "legitimate" scientists as being on your side, when it's just MOST. The irrational faith I referred to is that the dates based on carbon / radiometric dating are reliable. I explained why they're not, already. Asking me for the establishment opposing itself doesn't work. Don't be guilty of an argument from authority fallacy. As for limits, I know what you mean. I was joking when I confused the two.
@sdrawkcabgnipytmi If I say that I reject MACRO-evolution, then what evolution is there? HINT: It's not MACRO! lol
@sdrawkcabgnipytmi I'm done with you. You have failed to falsify your science fiction, so I won.
Your attempts to continue changing the subject will be rejected.
@sdrawkcabgnipytmi I guess you win :V hahaha...
@sdrawkcabgnipytmi The claim that a group of neo-nazis could become a superiour species if isolated would be justified by your notion of speciation, making it racist.
The British empire tried to justify its subjugation of darker races around the world with the notion you defend. After all, Darwin was sent on Her Majesty's Ship, was he not?
Some of the British in Australia assumed that the Aboriginals were missing links.
The history of your faith is racist.
AGAIN: "The claim that a group of neo-nazis could become a superiour species if isolated would be justified by your notion of speciation, making it racist.

Opine Opine Opine..
Mostly culturally; If a stone age culture expose to a colonization culture = culture clash....as i was saying in the minds of those in that situation opinion goes on , each culture goes to this higher 'Lable' all throughout history....
Conquistadors-Mesoamericans
Romans-Britons Chinese-Everybody on the Planet.
@sdrawkcabgnipytmi That you are still clinging to terms like "Precambrian" and "Jurassic" shows that you are in denial about the irrational assumption in dating methods upon which such pseudo-historical names are based.
"So every legitimate paleontologist, chemist, physicist ect in the world believes that radiometric dating is reliable and a bunch of evolution denying religionists say it isn't." You are misleading. You act as if ALL scientists have the same irrational faith you have.
If someone deserves to be a Saint she does
