I saw a photo online that affected me so much I couldn't sleep. The next morning I "adopted" an orangutan and fund raise for them. I hope to go to Borneo in the next couple of years
Yes, but unfortunately, more money is spent on these animals than on our own veterans. Free housing, food and healthcare for animals while our military heroes are ignored. Nice priorities
@keithmuehsam8990 really? Smh that was the saddest comment i ever read by this species needing help does not take away from the fact that humans need help as well. Everybody donates to different causes. If you're so worried about it, then when you donate your money, then send it to the vets.
I understand...I took a liking to them just by watching videos of their behavior and treatment and the effort to take care of them ..and their personalities are just like humans..they have feelings and emotions...I commend this lady and others like her for what they are doing..the Lord holds us accountable to the animals to take care of them...God bless her mission and all the organizations that care for all different types of animals ❤️
I fell in love with orangutans due to one single meeting of one back in 1971 or so. I was a teenager still in high school in a very small town in Mississippi. Once a year there was a small carnival that came to our little town. They had a 18 wheeler trailer that had a single chimpanzee and a orangutan in separate cages. As I walked through looking at them I stopped at the orangutan cage and was looking at her/him. The cage had two separate pieces of wire cage about 8 or 10 inches apart. The holes in the wire was small enough that the orangutan or us humans couldn’t stick our fingers in to come in contact with each other. I had a pack of chewing gum and I took a piece out, unwrapped it and put it in my mouth. The orangutan stared at me doing that and I could tell it wanted a piece.. It tried sticking its fingers through wanting a piece but we couldn’t reach others fingers. I had a piece trying to give it to her. There was a paper Coca Cola cup in its cage and she picked it up and tore a long strip. She poked that strip through the wire enough that I could place the gum on it. She gently pulled it back, took the gum and started chewing it like I was. That’s when I knew how smart and amazing orangutans are! I’ve never forgot that and realized at that moment how wrong it is to cage such a beautiful, intelligent animal! Humans are evil for destroying their habitat and putting them in cages for entertainment! I wish I could do something to stop that! Amazing majestic orangutans deserve better!
Dale, thanks for your story--how wonderful! There is an organization that's been extremely successful in restoring rain forest / orangutan habitat in Borneo. Its U.S. "parent" is "Health In Harmony," in Portland Oregon. The action branch in Sukadana, Borneo is called ASRI. ASRI is about 12 years old. It was founded by an American doctor and an Indonesian dentist, and is now run by Indonesians. It works in partnership with local people to restore ecological and human health. it's really inspiring. You might want to look at their website to get a sense for how you could help them, and even visit!
This was such a moving video. I raised my children and now they're out of the home, raising their own families, and I would absolutely LOVE to get involved in helping to save these beautiful, loving animals. Be still my ❤
i've got so much love for the orangutans. Bless you for all the work you do. i recently "adopted" one and give a small monthly donation. wish so much i could do more. my financial situation just doesn't allow for it. my dream is to be able to travel to Malaysia and participate with helping,hands-on, to mission to save and protect these beautiful primates and their disappearing habitat.
Very cute babies with their mommies love to see them happy and safe in the hands of good people's like the Country and open market very good people's around very good staffs they work very hard . Bless you all thank you for sharing.
Always read the ingredients list, if it says vegetable oil then it's probably palm oil or some other really bad oil, only if it actually says what kind of oil is in the product then buy it. :)
I have really bad depression so bad I don't get out of bed my one wish hope is that maybe one day I could come just hold one in my arms but I understand they are so very precious in my heart I always watch them these videos and pray maybe one day before I die I be able to God bless these angles keep doing your amazing work!!!
I'm working so hard on not buying anything with palm oil, along with my family and friends. I just would like to say thank you to everyone who does their part in trying to save these orangutans and all the other animals that live among them!!
You guys, we MUST read labels and refuse to buy any products made with palm oil!! That's the only way we can save these precious, sentient beings. They deserve to live.
I feel you but there's some problems. First of all, palm oil is disguised under like 30 different names, and it's in almost all packaged/processed foods. But even if we could successfully identify everything containing it, a boycott is never going to be widespread enough to take effect. And even if it could get big enough - the most likely result is that the boycott puts out of business the smaller companies that do sustainable palm oil production, only increasing the reliance on the ones that cause the deforestation, since they're big enough to withstand the boycott. The truth is that the only way this is going to change is if the local governments force it to. But they can't because they're either bought out by the industry, or the industry is more powerful than the local governments. So, unless we literally have a successful international revolution against capitalism, the only solution I can see is if people in the west force OUR governments to implement restrictions on products that would force the palm oil industry to change their methods - because they will continue as long as our countries are buying indiscriminately. From the consumer end it may do a little bit if one tries to intentionally support companies practicing sustainable palm production by buying their products - if you can afford the increased prices.
I will buy what I want. No time to check every label. Eventually, these apes need to either survive on their own or disappear. I know they are intelligent, so they should be able to adapt to new surroundings.
Deforestation is a problem everywhere and not only is relocating an entire species from their natural habitat not possible but orangutans wouldn't survive it as they've adapted over millions of years to live only in Indonesia and Malaysia. They're also a keystone species so without them, other animals and plants suffer. It's quite possible that orangutans will be extinct in the wild in our lifetime if deforestation, poaching and the illegal pet trade isn't immediately and seriously addressed by the Indonesian and Malaysian govts.
@@Robertodette not a damn thing wrong with Trump what's wrong with the world today is the pedophile that y'all voted in that's why you're paying more for your gasoline dummy
Though I have been a lifelong lover of the arts, namely music and literature - no one, in my book, is more of a rock star than Birute Galdikas! I want to be like her when I grow up 🙏
Orangutans are so agile and smart. They are good parents and people are not afraid of them because they are so gentle. Very entertaining to watch their antics and their face expressions are funny. They are great at climbing and I love it when they play in water. Great videos keep them coming.
Dr. Birute Galdikas is an amazing woman and truly a groundbreaker in orangutan conservation. I enjoyed reading her book "Reflections of Eden:My years with the orangutans of Borneo." The orangutan who holds her hand on that cover of the October 1975 National Geographic magazine is still alive and having babies in the wild today.
It's a wonderful book. I was an anthropology student at ASU when Goodall, Fosse and Galdikas, all Leakey students, had been doing their daunting work for over a decade. Still, after many reads I am most enchanted by the book and the work of Birute and only found it a year ago. Please pass the word to others who may not know of her and her biography -- she is as enchanting, intelligent & compassionate as the Orangutans. A truly great read that is so modestly presented yet so adventurous in spirit and deed. Love to see a good documentary on her life's work and the Orangutans which have so often been overlooked because of man's (I do mean men) violent nature & dominance.
People see these little babies as such cuties, I do as well. What most don't see through the little cute baby is a full grown adult orangutan. They grow up just as people and other primates. Honestly who would want a full grown orangutan with fierce and strong will. People need to leave them alone to live freely and beautiful like they were meant to be. Teaching them after losing their mother they become used to humans as their saviors and good people, which in the wild would get them killed by the same people that they came to trust so much.🥺
You're not getting the point of this video. Their habitat is being destroyed by palm oil companies. Man is destroying their way of life. If you kill their mothers, the babies can't survive. Their not humans, but they are pre humans. So they are killing our ancestors there's no "wild" for them to live in.
Watching this in 2018 is quiet sad as for all the great work that has been done there is still a large gap in the saving the habitats, big money still talks!
Kind, benevolent Creatures.. Yeah, thats what i thought too before one of them just casually walked over and knicked my icecream while i was eating it :/
please watch and learn how Dove soap is threatening these beautiful animals - I was surprised to find one of my favorite produces to causes this damage. please help
why do you think people are coming to America ... Because everywhere else sucks! The corruption isnt one guy at the top... Its the Godless people and a collective thinking ..
yea it's easier to destroy something which you don't know from far away than to come meet these beautiful creatures, and the impact deforestation caused, and the displacement not only of orangutans but other species
Why did they say Birute has run the longest mammal study? She was one of Leakey's three "Trimates". She got started early 1970s and Goodall started up Gombe in the early 1960s. Dian Fossey started later in the 1960s. It's also disappointing that Leakey's role in setting this up is quietly ignored.
They do it to feed their family because of poverty and overpopulation. Animal and wood mafias are very powerful and governments in developping states very corrupted...
Its humans jobs save them. I truly believe that orangutans can even be domesticated. They are the most intelligent little people in the world. No animals are as intelligent as a orangutans. They are to much like us. The wild is harsh and cruel for those smart, and non violent tree people.
I haven't met anyone with four wives in Indonesian Borneo. There are Muslims,Christians, and Dayaks living there, and everyone I've met while doing wildlife volunteer work has "regular families" The rapidly increasing production of palm oil has been to supply the developed countries' demand for palm oil.

@Bojan Matijevic Very very bad montages indeed. Unfortunately, this is not the only one. I found that many foreign media make mistakes when handling the cultural aspects of Indonesia. This is one of them. Another type of mistake is using songs of one ethnicity for another ethnicity in documentary, e.g. using Sundanese music for a BGM on documentary about Balinese. This should be noted for any non-Indonesian videographers out there, if you want to handle a material that is related to traditional culture of Indonesia, the rule of thumb is *there is no such thing as "Indonesian traditional culture"* (i mean as one, single, monolithic traditions that is shared across the country). What you have are traditional cultures of various ethnic groups within Indonesia.That's why you need to be specific about *where you are* and *which people you are with* , because they will affect which footages & BGM you should use. Oh yeah, another rule of thumb: different islands = very visibly different cultures.
Bojan Matijevic This lady has a brutal reputation in the Orangutan community. Had her funding pulled in early 90’s. To make money ever since, she preys on bleeding hearts who will pay out the nose to study tangs. There was a scathing article done on her.
Solitaire Catnaps Not by keeping a hundred orangutans in a residential backyard and roaming inside her home while feeding them table scraps. She is giving one her coffee on a RUclips video. Some Orangutan leader... Jane Goodall, she is not.
These creatures are much more human than the vast majority of people. Cheers to this woman and her fine works! Shame on those that destroy the habitats of these gentle creatures.
I dnt need to go there to understand why she ie dedicating her life to this. I want to do this too..I think these little guys are one of the very few things that can bring me to tears due to their story due to the fact they have no mothers due to the fact they are gentle peaceful and ppl kill and her them for stupid reasons and bc they're just do fking cute.
I love orangutans, but I think that, these videos are bias and one sided. They don't show, how the people in these countries are starving, and strugling to survive. It is wrong what they're doing to the forest, but we should not judge them, for wanting to feed their families. We should work toward a solution, to solve both problems.
Sorry, I wasn't very clear. The aspect ratio is the ratio of width to height of something. This video has an aspect ratio of 16:9. They named the whole show after the ratio between the sides of the video frame.
Ridiculous introduction. Orangutans are the SYMBOLS of the Bornean and Sumatran Islands yet there is much rural sprawl, logging, poaching, and habitat destruction for palm oil plantations that have destroyed millions of acres of original tropical rainforest and thousands of orangutans in the most cruel ways imaginable. But the babies have black market value and hence the lucky ones make it to overflowing sanctuaries. The orangutan is on the coinage, paper money and stamps of Borneo but most Borneans have never SEEN one.
Breeders could very quickly breed and market hundreds of thousands of orangutans if the environmentalists would only get out of the way. Let the marketplace do its magic.
It's wonderful what she is doing for these incredible creatures.....but I sure as hell wouldn't let a baby orangutan hang on my infant son to pose for the cover of National Geographic magazine. I hope I don't need to explain why.
I can't blame her for trying. There's only so much begging and pleading can do. At least she was trying to think of another way. How did this effort harm what she was already doing? You should really back up you statement at least with a link.
As much as I like orangutans, I prefer to spend my money on palm oil. The good doctor's ecotours are simply too expensive for me. The only way these orangutans are going to survive, with all the clear cutting of rain forests being conducted by developing nations trying to meet the demands of the marketplace, is to find a niche in human society as a pet. Cats and dogs have been very successful in using humans to populate the Earth. If orangutans are so gentle, why can't they be pets?
What beautiful animals. l can't fathom why they are not just cutting down some of the forest (which would be bad enough) but why ALL of it? Greed, greed, greed corruption, CORRUPTION! ;(
theresa42213 Idk if it's greed as what's more likely as bad economic conditions mixed with a poor government. I'm sure there are some of those that can be described as greed, but I have a feeling a lot of people there are just doing what they can to support their families. Greed is possible to fix by regulation, but country wide issues that have lasted generation are unfortunately not as easy.
+theresa42213 In the 80s environmentalism wasnt really all that popular. Palmoil was high priced and in demand so they pretty much cut Down all the Rainforest of Borneo to make palmoil plantations.
Many times palm oil is listed as "vegetable oil" in the ingredients in many products, according to a man from Borneo in another orangutan video I had watched yesterday. Either way, whenever I do read that its in the ingredients, that item is put right back on the shelf!! I refuse to help these money-hungry bastards destroy the lives of these beautiful innocent souls!! ❤
Palm oil isnt the real issue. Its the fact the Indonesia is a poor country and make a lot of their money by selling goods. If it wasn't palm oil it would be another crop. The African palm tree isn't even native to indonesia
What can be said. I have watched these video's for a long time, I cry watching some but never stop. Do the good work for them.
I saw a photo online that affected me so much I couldn't sleep. The next morning I "adopted" an orangutan and fund raise for them. I hope to go to Borneo in the next couple of years
What would happen if you adopted an orangutan, and it ended up dead?
❤ sounds like a dream
This would be a good treat for people that have PTSD, Depression and other mental Illness.

We must read product labels to put a STOP to palm oil.
It is in almost everything in a box or bag
It's in everything, even some products that are not labeled that it contains it.
Where can we contribute to keeping them alive and happy?
Question is what’s being done about the poachers?? Jail time, fine/ticket 🎫, prison, beat them up??!?
They do it to feed their family because of poverty and overpopulation. Animal and wood mafias are very powerful and governments in developping states very corrupted...

What you have are traditional cultures of various ethnic groups within Indonesia.That's why you need to be specific about *where you are* and *which people you are with* , because they will affect which footages & BGM you should use.
Oh yeah, another rule of thumb: different islands = very visibly different cultures.
Bojan Matijevic This lady has a brutal reputation in the Orangutan community. Had her funding pulled in early 90’s. To make money ever since, she preys on bleeding hearts who will pay out the nose to study tangs. There was a scathing article done on her.
J C : How would you suggest she get money to support her mission?
Solitaire Catnaps Not by keeping a hundred orangutans in a residential backyard and roaming inside her home while feeding them table scraps. She is giving one her coffee on a RUclips video. Some Orangutan leader... Jane Goodall, she is not.
@@dutchcoven4256 👏👏👏
adorable
i dont kw if i have the will power to stop useing all palm oil products but i will certainly try
Makasih yaa selamatin orangutan (thanks for saving them)
they're so cute
These creatures are much more human than the vast majority of people. Cheers to this woman and her fine works! Shame on those that destroy the habitats of these gentle creatures.
I'm midly confident that non-humans are not more human than humans. Humans are probably more human than non-humans are.
tanner vogan upon further reflection, you are probably correct. Being human ain't so good as being one of these creatures.
@@nunyabiznez4408really? Because humans won’t be extinct in ten years and the orangutans might be gone
if I ever went, I doubt I would feel like coming back!
I dnt need to go there to understand why she ie dedicating her life to this. I want to do this too..I think these little guys are one of the very few things that can bring me to tears due to their story due to the fact they have no mothers due to the fact they are gentle peaceful and ppl kill and her them for stupid reasons and bc they're just do fking cute.
I love orangutans, but I think that, these videos are bias and one sided. They don't show, how the people in these countries are starving, and strugling to survive. It is wrong what they're doing to the forest, but we should not judge them, for wanting to feed their families. We should work toward a solution, to solve both problems.
Sorry, I wasn't very clear. The aspect ratio is the ratio of width to height of something. This video has an aspect ratio of 16:9. They named the whole show after the ratio between the sides of the video frame.

God, please protect them all from the monsters that are called humans
Ridiculous introduction. Orangutans are the SYMBOLS of the Bornean and Sumatran Islands yet there is much rural sprawl, logging, poaching, and habitat destruction for palm oil plantations that have destroyed millions of acres of original tropical rainforest and thousands of orangutans in the most cruel ways imaginable. But the babies have black market value and hence the lucky ones make it to overflowing sanctuaries. The orangutan is on the coinage, paper money and stamps of Borneo but most Borneans have never SEEN one.
Que lindos son.
Asi es , yo.no.entiendo lo q comentan pesco un.poco dicen q no.debemos consumir productos q contengan aceite de palama (palmoil)
Breeders could very quickly breed and market hundreds of thousands of orangutans if the environmentalists would only get out of the way. Let the marketplace do its magic.
the baby building the nest was sooo cute i wish that palm oil never existed i hate palm oil u guys shud donate 1000000000 dollars
I like primates because of Curious George, too.
i am Indian.I want to adopt Orangutans.I will built a big forest for orangutan.
It's wonderful what she is doing for these incredible creatures.....but I sure as hell wouldn't let a baby orangutan hang on my infant son to pose for the cover of National Geographic magazine. I hope I don't need to explain why.
this makes me cry now i'm playing zoo tycoon and making a orangutan zoo
Adoram brincar ❤❤❤❤❤
Amazing animals indeed
Are she is there ? What is her contact information?
keep feeding them chips, instant noodle and hot chocolate like that, they will never go back to the jungle :(
They feed them foods which contain palm oil. Hilarious
Her desire for Eco tourism income threw her programs into chaos and disorganized ruin
I can't blame her for trying. There's only so much begging and pleading can do. At least she was trying to think of another way. How did this effort harm what she was already doing? You should really back up you statement at least with a link.
As much as I like orangutans, I prefer to spend my money on palm oil. The good doctor's ecotours are simply too expensive for me. The only way these orangutans are going to survive, with all the clear cutting of rain forests being conducted by developing nations trying to meet the demands of the marketplace, is to find a niche in human society as a pet. Cats and dogs have been very successful in using humans to populate the Earth. If orangutans are so gentle, why can't they be pets?
I wish I could go an help them.
oh God I can't help them but You can ..please save them please save my country
We were never orangutans. One of a great deceptions of this world.
Right. Our last common ancestor dates back about 12 million years.

Greedy people do not care about the consequences of their greedy actions. The almighty dollar wins again. So tragic!
What beautiful animals. l can't fathom why they are not just cutting down some of the forest (which would be bad enough) but why ALL of it? Greed, greed, greed corruption, CORRUPTION! ;(
theresa42213 Idk if it's greed as what's more likely as bad economic conditions mixed with a poor government. I'm sure there are some of those that can be described as greed, but I have a feeling a lot of people there are just doing what they can to support their families. Greed is possible to fix by regulation, but country wide issues that have lasted generation are unfortunately not as easy.
+theresa42213 In the 80s environmentalism wasnt really all that popular. Palmoil was high priced and in demand so they pretty much cut Down all the Rainforest of Borneo to make palmoil plantations.
Damn what a bummer! A lush paradise totally wiped out.
+Bri Guy unfortunately its greed because all the companies that are cutting up the forest are actually American.
Yea hey? Ain't that a shocker?
Indonesia, do what's right.
We in the Western world are the ones buying the palm oil and wood produced here.
Stop using #PALMOIL
amen...
Skinqure clinic seriously?
Many times palm oil is listed as "vegetable oil" in the ingredients in many products, according to a man from Borneo in another orangutan video I had watched yesterday. Either way, whenever I do read that its in the ingredients, that item is put right back on the shelf!! I refuse to help these money-hungry bastards destroy the lives of these beautiful innocent souls!! ❤
And stop to buy products containe #PALMOIL !
Palm oil isnt the real issue. Its the fact the Indonesia is a poor country and make a lot of their money by selling goods. If it wasn't palm oil it would be another crop. The African palm tree isn't even native to indonesia

Still a shocking disregard for their homes and livelihoods.
