This. Lady doctor care for this big families she love them all thank you for sharing your love to this beautiful animals Bless you all love your beautiful video,
What an amazing story. Dr. G is an icon for her work. I don't know how I haven't learned about her before now. You would think this would be taught in school at some point.
I am an Indonesian and I wish someday there is a prominent Indonesian expert and organization that lead the Orang Utan preservation. It is rather embarrassing that other people care for this amazing Indonesian treasure more than the Indonesians. I understand we can not yet take care the Orang Kota well enough, let alone Orang Utan.
@ Alejandro Sudiro Sir you have my admiration. I wish and hope there are more like you in your beautiful nation (been to Bali). More who know that your Orang Utans ARE a treasure. I only wish that there could be somewhere in Europe that could support a wild Orang Utan population; I would give everything to make that happen. But sadly the climate and land are all wrong :-(
Patty, this is fantastic - beautifully done and quite moving. I was unaware of the connection between palm oil and the loss of habitat until I saw some of your posts on Facebook. My eyes are wide open now. Thank you for that.
Amazing video, well said. The forest belongs to them, they were there first. They deserve nothing but the best. I wish I could go out there and spend a week there. ❤️❤️❤️❤️🦧🦧🦧
Bless all who are involved with these wonderful creatures plights to try to help and save them ..we as a world need look inside ourselves at what we have become most of all at what cost to others if we can honestly say we don't care we have no right to breath the air. Time for change is now.
Wonderful that good people care enough to help those helpless ones who through no fault of their own, lost their home! Humans can be so selfish! Thank God for the good people who are loving & caring for our distant cousins!
She has done such amazing work!! It’s so sad to see how greed is just taking over and destroying their home. I absolutely love Orangutans. Lord willing one day I’d love to see them in person and take my children. Also thank u so much sharing the palm oil. I always try to really check everything I buy! But just from the picture I see I’m failing. I must do better
awesome i love films about people helping animals orangatans are so beautiful and act so much like us it is amazing. i have a great love for every animal on the planet and we need to do all we can to protect them
Spectacular Patty! Thank you for educating us on the lives and perils of these Orangutans, and thank you for getting the word out about Dr.G's work. I am sorry I missed your fundraiser for her. How can we donate to her? Will you be distributing copies of this beautifully done video on DVD so that we can spread the word? Well done! Karen B.
@eldad75 Thank you , Eldad, for your words. I certainly hope it raises awareness because these endangered animals really need our help. Be well & thanks for ALL you do too!
@sammy11232003 I too share your love of all animals and want to help to not only protect them but to ensure their survival on this beautiful, diverse planet. Thank you for commenting and keep helping them too!
Betull tpi habitat nya sekarang tpt berkurang di tebangi , mengapa orang indonesia gk banyak yg peduli , padahal orang luar banyak yg datang untuk penyelamatan orang utan dan jenis binatang yg di lindungi
@ocdogguy Your words mean the world to me. To educate people & get their "eyes wide open" to this & all the other plights for animals is my mission in life. You have made me feel like I have done just that. Thanks again.
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing! I pray someday all Primates will be safe again and that the greed of big corporations ends and also all the poachers will end .
Omg..so much love these orangutans have for Dr.I feel sad that my country is the largest importer of palm oil from Indonesia. The government and local industry are least bothered about damage being done to these amazing creatures. The least I could do is virtually adopt an orangutan from forest school
Amo a los orangutánes, me gustaría ayudarlos. Soy escritora de Teatro y tengo una compañía de teatro Inclusivo. Vivo en Cancún México. Ojalá me puedan responder.
@sandraoopie Got your email. Thank you for your complimentary words about this film; it means so much to me, dear friend! We must just keep forging ahead in our fight for their justice & survival!
Though I commend this sanctuary for providing food and shelter to their orangutans, they will never make these orangutans independent of humans. They are too humanized and not wary of humans. They are also very reliant on them for food as well. These can't survive in the wild on their own.
Though they most definitely can and do! In many videos of visits to the camp, you can listen to the visitors or rangers note that the orangs only selectively come to the platforms, and don't come at all during the flush of fruiting season, showing that they are clearly able to forage and deal with living in the wild on their own, for extended periods of time even. This would make it plainly evident that they are being intelligent opportunists, and taking advantage of the human supply when it suits their overall wishes, and needs, but are totally capable of utilizing the forest if need be and could indefinitely. All this fear mongering about human contact and interaction screwing them up mentally is really just that. If frequent human interaction were to cause them to drop dead from a common cold, or other disease carried by/from humans, the population at camp leakey would be long dead and gone, or at least suffering from plainly evident losses due to sickness. This is obviously not true, and likely why the Dr. scoffs at the masking and hands off policy, it is nonsense! In contrast sharing the wonderful and deeply moving experience of visitors connecting with the orangs, surely has done far more for the well being of the species as a whole and their habitat, and ironically likely that publicity has brought significant amounts of funding to the places that preach strict no contact (oh except for their few employees, that interact with them all day, touching, carrying, hugging, etc.. that is ok lol). I understand and agree with the logical basis for hygienic and safe practices along with monitoring and quarantine, for any illness (especially chronic) to avoid exposing them to a sick orang, or human, but with the same practices that we apply to ourselves. After all, they are so genetically similar to us, it is only logical that they could be treated with the same medical precautions. They do not need to be looked at as fragile as glass, or so mentally vulnerable, when they clearly have immune systems like us, and have brains that can adapt to new circumstances, and work with new challenges and face changes by learning and growing. The ones at the camp prove this, by being able to both bond and interact long term with humans, while ALSO still retaining the wild survival skills to thrive in the forest and interact with plus even breed with fully wild counterparts. This should not be surprising though, they are just living proof of how close they are to us, by adapting so readily without losing their wild abilities. Evolution happens to all life, constantly.
"remove the threat". Are you joking or am I missing the real point here? Demolishing all the palm plantations and start to replant, rebuild their forests somehow is the least thing humanity owes to these magnificent creatures!
I'm sorry but these women didnt go in unarmed,they were playing a part,not that they dont care about these relatives of ours but they all pretty much came out together and each seemingly with a love for their favorite ape??no theres more to it and its only gone down hill from there,these apes have been tortured at labs run by us,man!!yet it shows ya the beaity they possess inside as they still trust,even as we burn their homes down all for a dollar and iys just one of those things I try to get as far away from as a man myself,it just shows ya the evil in this world but if we are looking for the good then look at these guys and the gorillas and bonobos and some chimps but unfortunately they seem to have gotten the dark sinister stuff that we possess also,but again they are innocent in all this,its just with the chimp u can see it play out within their own as I've seen what they are capable ofincluding killing and canabalising their own and how they have that war mentality that we possess and from what I've seen they are the only great ape to have these characteristics which explains why they share the most DNA with us,some of our good and beautiful qualities but also some of our absolute WORST as well!!
Xke nn portate via tutti i makaki ke sono tenuti in casa solo x soldi e nn x amore.? Li trattano malein tutti i sns e fa molto male vedere certe cose viprego portartele via aqueste persone cattive vi prego fate qualcosa
when the released animals start raiding crops or damaging palms again, the villagers and/or palm plantation workers need to do what is necessary to remove the threat and protect crops. don't capture and sell the babies, treat them the same as their mothers.
we humans? speak for yourself. i have done nothing to them. how they belong where ever they want to belong? Releasing on a park where they are fed daily and monitored closely is not the wild!
Paul Polish Rectumus...the missing link. First observed two years ago climbing palms and sticking crops up his bum. Thus far only one specimen of Paul Polish Rectumus was found, thank god. Little is known of this elusive stinker, but there is little doubt that by demolishing palm plantations, Paul Polish Rectumus will go the way of a dodo, thank god
I think your math is wrong as far as 100 million years. LOL. Man was created 6000 years ago by God from dirt. It amazes me every time I hear millions of years concerning the earth. So funny. But I do love the Orangatans what is sad is that man is destroying the habitat of these sweet smart beautiful creatures also created by God 6000 years ago. They do amaze me and it breaks my heart ❤️ to see babies without their mommy’s. ❤️
