I just wanted to highlight Isobel’s post that I re-blogged this morning, it’s something that I feel passionate about so if you could just take a look at these beautiful creatures and go over to sign on the link from earlier it would be wonderful. http://isobelandcat.wordpress.com/2013/05/14/save-the-orangutans/

We like it here, but it would be better if there was enough food and nice trees deep in the forest.
Here is our forest
My cousin is hiding up there, he has darker fur than I do because he chooses all his own food!
Will you help to make sure that the baby grows up to have babies too?
Can you see all those rows of trees? They are taking over our habitat and we need help so that we can survive.

Reblogged this on Chris The Story Reading Ape's Blog and commented:
Help my very distant cousins …. please 🙂
Impressive shots
Thank you for highlighting this situation.
I have already signed the petition AND reblogged it 🙂
It is an insult to call Humans Animals (to the animals) …
Corporations seem to be intent in destroying our Planet and it’s inhabitants …. all for the LOVE OF PROFIT 😦
What a lovely post Gilly and I just love these little beings. They are so intelligent, sweet and innocent. Thanks for caring about them too. 🙂 *big hugsU
How would we know what’s happening if someone didn’t send out this information. Thank you for sharing.
Fantastic galleries of these extraordinary, and precious, creatures. It’s a lovely way to pay homage to them, and their plight. As I said to Isobel this morning, there might be a glimmer of hope in Indonesia – I saw this on the Raxa Collective this morning: http://raxacollective.wordpress.com/2013/05/14/indonesias-tipping-point/ Fingers – everything – crossed for a better outcome.
I’m afraid that after I reblogged this post I had a rant 😦
I just get so angry at the stupidity of the human race grrrrr
Lovely post!
Go Gilly! It would be lovely if we as bloggers could make a difference this way. Great photos by all of you.
It is a shame people keep destroying the natural habitat of animals. If we keep it up, we will destroy ourselves because everything living on earth is here for a purpose. Beautiful photos. Lending my support.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
Well done for highlighting the plight of the orang utans, and the other wild creature affected by the issues surrounding the palm oil, logging greed. Heading over to the petition.
That baby is adorable. Why is it that hard for people to understand the importance of conservation? We have been crying hoarse about our tigers, but numbers keep dropping in every census. Down to 1400 at the last count! From an estimated 100,000 at the turn of the century!!!
