I also saw the film, we have to change our consumption habits. Too often the media here is obsessed with climate change but little attention is given to large corporations destroying land that should be reserved for orangutans and other endangered species. The large corporations I fear are only too happy for us to become obsessed with climate change so they can deflect attention away from what they are doing. I am donating today to your relief org to help save the orangutan. We need to change the conversation in the West.

The last scenes from an Indonesian forest being destroyed, with the remaining tree occupied by the traumatized orangutans, how the one orangutan is slogging through the mud, how the surviving orangutans are (maybe) rescued by the loggers ….this all made me want to help. I don’t know how you can prevent habitat destruction in Indonesia, but I hope at least COVID-19 is putting a pause on this. We have to change our minds about Progress.
