Borneo Orangutan Survival

[fibriety]

there are websites that will give you alot of info everyone about how you can help out and they also have gifts you can buy too,helping these guys out its an everyday thing not just a one of,one website is selling hairclips so if you know any hairdressing salons that would like to buy hairclips then that would be great,also holding a stall for them too and selling their products:)

im 14

i understand what you can do to teach apes how to read, to use sign language, and to use tools, orangutans are extreamly smart apes, smarter that alot of humans, if i ever get an orangutan, i wouldnt treat it as a pet, but an extention to the family, i would rase it, teach it, and i know youll think im just a dumb kid when i say this, but i would also teach it to use a naginata, thenmove over there, and anyone who would destroy the homes of the orangutan, they'll go home in a body bag

USA allowed British Petroleum to not only destroy the Gulf of Mexico, but exponentially worsen it buy spraying chemical dispersant to hide - sink the oil to the bottom. Now the Gulf is destroyed for the next 100 to possibly 1000 years! We polluted the oceans with a sea of plastic the size of Texas. We destroyed the world's oceans, destroyed the world's forests, and brought every animal species to the brink of extinction! Corporate Capitalism at its WORST! Tiempo para Revolucion!

@graimat I am in my fourth and final year of university and from the beginning I have used this video to help give me the inner drive I need to complete my schooling. Whenever I doubted why I am in school while there is so much work to be done right now I watch your videos they are moving and motivational, I will complete my studies and I will help these and other wonderful beings. Thank you for your videos they, and you, have helped me

[Chriswsm]

While humans increase in numbers other species will fall. Our overpopulation and our greed are the cause of the loss of many thousands of species. This will not end until our population drops to a sustainable level as fewer people would mean fewer mouths to feed and fewer homes to build and fewer bodies travelling around the planet.

In other words to make sure the Orangutan babies survive do not have human babies of your own

[puffinmuffin13579]

i totally agree, i am also 12 and it's soo sad to see this, i am not eating or purchasing anything with palm oil in it. i have also adopted a orangutan named pinky.

i will be soooo happy if we can make a change and save these wonderful cratures which are our closest relatives :(

Stupid Humans.

[BeanzUnited]

so touching why cut down tree use other material save the earth come on

[themen123424]

orangtans are cool

[BOYBBringYourOwnBag]

Orangutans face extinction in the wild in 10 years. We can't wait for our kids to grow up and take care of the problem, everybody has to change their habits now! Stop buying palm oil foods and make a statement. Share this issue with friends and family!

[Claramaria93]

I am ashamed to be human.

[Roshani34]

Very emotional. Heart touching video. Thanks for sharing.

[Watchkeeper777]

Those poor majestic trees and all those beautiful animals and creatures dying from our craziness.

I wish we could be more powerful to stop this and the orangutans are saved. ten years is nothing in time. What mad ness is this burning a forest filled with life.

[TheDreadhead81]

Thank you for posting this very moving vid!...This is a very unnerving act of man, claiming thousands of acres of lands and destroying the homes of many kinds animals including these love creatures at the same time...how horrible men become!!!...to graimat, how can I help save these amazing creatures???...

[silvianavaroo1]

Мне захотелось заплакать!!! Люди!! Мы разрушаем живую природу, причиняем вред тем кто хочет жить, а главное имеет право на жизнь!!!!!! Мы думаем только о своем благополучии, не можем отказаться от привычных вещей, даже если знаем что страдают беззащитные!!!! Люди-самые жестокие твари на этой земле и все беды от человечества которое ни перед чем не остановится в своих стремлениях к комфорту и вседоступности!!!! Задумайтесь!!!!

[Sachse009]

That if man is allowed

To destroy all we need.

He will soon have to pay

With his life for his greed.

[saxomophonegirl]

It is soooooooooooo sad to see them all and when we got to do an assignment on a rainforest I said Borneo straight away

[acdoel171]

A VECES LOS humanos SON MAS IRRACIONALES QUE LOS ANIMALES...

qUE TRISTE VER COMO DESTRULLEN EL HABITA DE ESTE ANIMALIT,,

EL HOMBRE NO ESNTIENDE QUE EL MUNDO NO LE PERTENECE QUE DEBE RESPETAR Y CONVIVIR CON TODAS LAS ESPECIES

RESCATEMOS AL PLANETA Y SUS MARAVILLOSOS SERES.

SUS BOSQUES...

[ihateslideshows]

acdeoel171@ At times THE humans ARE BUT IRRATIONAL THAT THE ANIMALS... THAT SAD TO SEE AS DESTRULLEN THE INHABITS OF THIS ANIMALIT,, THE MAN NOT ESNTIENDE THAT THE WORLD does NOT BELONG THAT

SHOULD RESPECT AND TO LIVE TOGETHER WITH ALL THE SPECIES we RESCUE TO THE PLANET AND HIS MARVELOUS BEINGS. HIS FORESTS...

[betsarama]

Hell on earth. My god, how sad. I've never seen footage of the devestation. Surely greed is the deadliest sin of all.

[lovelylondon94]

this is arrogantly cruel. god put thousands of millions of beautiful creatures on this planet for a reason & many are murdering them. hopefully this video will bring awareness to many just as it did for me. their homes are being destroyed. god doesnt destroy ours, why should we destroy theirs? this is beyond disgustingly inhumane to me. they deserve every right to live in peace and happyness just as we have our rights to breath. this is bringing me to tears. an act of kindness is all it takes.

[ihateslideshows]

look at those little faggot arrangutangs they deserve to die!!!

[eccentricoldcow]

@ihateslideshow

Why do you say that? You are part of the problem with that attitide. So dim you can't even spell or copy the name of the creature you think deserve to die.

[ihateslideshows]

hahaha lmfao i knew someone would get pissed off and reply. hahahahaa

[eccentricoldcow]

And it HAD to be me

[Mattchewwww]

@ihateslideshows what the fuck motherfucker?

[JaniceParton]

This type of "business" pays well for the workers, these logging companies depend on that to get their grubby hands on this precious, needed forest. God only knows how old these trees are, and how its inhabitants have grown strong. This is a no brainer. These rain forests are our worlds air conditioners, and providers of oxygen air. Why have our governments worked together to make these precious areas hands off to greedy bastards. God help us!

[MrsPowergirl]

sweet

[MyGlobalEventReports]

I can't stop crying. Everyone watching this video must write to their govt's and demand action. Rich countries must consider how they can help. Of course much income is being made from selling wood/palm oil - so they need BIG incentives to stop the cutting and burning. I pray that a solution can be found.

[rdubtastic]

This is all Charlton Hestons fault. Caesar will come.

[ShaneNTUC]

I am so very sad to watch this..;-(

[The101177]

I guess we need to spread the word......don't buy palm oil products!

This makes me sick. )=

[monkey9090]

;'(

[ContestMiss]

This is too sad... :( Lets do somethingg about saving Orangutans. Its cruel to kill their habitat!

[lacayan]

El video mas trisque que he visto

[sistara]

omg that was soooooo sad i wish i knew how i could help save them!!!!!! the song makes it even sader =[=[

[SimplyTheVest2]

how can we help these guys

[SimplyTheVest2]

orang utans are cool, more human than many non aryans

[nikalina777]

Completely devastating!

[miramadonna]

Human is evil

[windap55]

I can't watch this video, I know they need money to help them. we should write letters to their government, they are letting this happen all for Palm Oil, that is disgusting. The LOVE of money is the root to all evil............

[miramadonna]

this video make me cry

is so painfull waht human do to animals.....

[leviaragon]

i really love these animals they are very funny,,,,

[sanguebr]

Human is idiot.

[JetLag61]

I wish I could do the same with this... It's time, that mankind needs to disappear from this planet! SUPPORT BOS!!!

[redapes2]

completely touching

[manchauti]

Really sad

[manchauti]

Excellent

Really Effective

[LightninLew]

i wana help em, but i also wana kill everyone hu has anything to do with hurtin th poor lil orangutans. is tht wrong?

[duckfoot23]

this made me cry.

[catwomaneyes]

I've been there in Borneo for a few days it's quiet sad to see them,especially when they put the orangutans in rehabilitation center, looks like they are sad being 'locked' but right now our goverment try the best to stop illegal logging, hopefully illegal logging would be our past really soon.

[ETthecheeselover]

it is so sad that orangutans could all be gone by 2015, but at least there are still some people who care about them, I just wish we could do more for them.

This video was moving I hope it makes more people see that they can do somthing for the orangutans.

[tehcarpet]

I thought it was as early as 2010?

[dancing0angel]

they are so cute..

especially their big black eyes.. love them!!!

i wish i could fly to kalimantan..

[savcod]

i dont know how anyone could hurt these wonderful creatures... there habitat is diminihing every day and we need to do something to help stop it from happening... thank you for posting this it was really moving and i hope the oranutang will still be in the wild when i have kids. i love animals and i would do anything to protect them

[ADH58]

it's so sad. I am 12 and when i am older i really want 2 help these wonderful creatures. i no ur probablly thinking i am just talkig fantasy, but i really want to work wiv them..be one of those carers holding those wonderful babies and release them into the wild! thank u for posting this!

[J23MD]

ADH58-

I am 12 too and I have loved these animals for years. I want to do the same thing with my life When I get older. I think the video had a great message that we should all take to heart because I want these amazing creatures to be around when I have kids and if we dont do something soon, I don't think it will ever happen.

[manchauti]

Could be too late..boo hoo

[Nosfeast]

@ADH58 You can do anything you want bud. If you really wanna do it then get some research and find out things you need to learn to be able to work with them.

[eladbari]

@Nosfeast would u know of any way,then, that u can volunteer there? come for a while and help out? its hard to find the emails\contact info of those people in Borneo. :\

[widdawiddawaldo]

@ADH58 Dude, you arn't talking fantasy!!! I'm just 19 and i booked my Gap year yestaday!!! 1 month in Cambodia and 2months in Borneo- workin with Orangutans!!!!! and it cost me less than £3000 (i live in england) But you CAN go work with these amazing creatures and help to improve the living conditions and know that you have played a part in trying to keep this magnificant creater alive for (hopefully) generations to come!! but GO FOR IT!!! (search- camps international on google!!)

[BOYBBringYourOwnBag]

@ADH58 You don't have to wait until you get older to help. You can help NOW by helping your family change their buying habits, talking to friends and family about not buying food with palm oil. Awareness is half the battle. You can lend a voice to them and bring their plight out of the dark to people you come in contact with. Your voice alone is powerful.

[hankje]

Thank you for posting this moving video. I'm heading out to Borneo this summer to help out at a rehabilitation centre for orangs. They try and release all the orangs out to a controlled area in the wild. Please concider cutting out palm oil from your diet, the production of palm oil wipes out so much crucial rainforest where these orangs should be living. It's disgusting how some people posts videos of orangs putting on shows and smoking on here and find it funny. They should be wild, not human.

[monkeypeople101]

My fav animals r orangutans, chimpanzees and cats. It's horrible what they do to these rainforests and destroy orangtuan homeland.

[jomobolo]

AW!

[psychocalikitty]

I hate zoos but, I did go just to see some orangutans. They are more breathtaking in person then anything. They are soooo beautiful. It will be ashamed if stupid things men do wipe them out. I wish I had a billion dollars. I would buy Borneo and kick all the loggers out and have these people re-educated on how important the Orangutan is to their culture.

But, I can do is make videos and talk to folks and make them aware. Got my husband to love them :)

[schatzlein28]

Within the next 10 years zoo are going to be the only place to see Orangutans, and some of them are trying to do whatever they can to help protect them. I believe its the Cheyenne Zoo that has a lot of good info on their website about Palm Oil. Everyone should check it out.

[TerrahDawn]

Thanks to BOS/Safe Palm Oil for alerting me to this video... it's great and so sad. We have to stop this! This has got to end... alternative energy is much needed but I believe it's wind, solar and water.

Our closest cousins as are all primates - you'd think that most humans would respect that but they don't [not to mention the ones that don't believe in this - they are more to blame for propagating a wrong theory]

I'll send this one into the Care2 news for others to watch.... thanks :)

[subrosa]

it's a such noble job. Congrats Nyaru Menteng staff. It's urgent to save our cousins, almost brothers, "Men of the Forest" , so threatened.

[Abyssman99]

this is tghe place i have dreamed of being there and when i get older and get the chance it wont be there.why ruin a perfect place....dont make animals go extinct cuz of our selfish needs!!!save them leave borneo and other rain forests alone...animals were before us...respect it!

[jonnyb748]

Amazing video. Even with the music turned off it still makes me feel angry, disgusted and above all, shame.

Ultimately everything we do uses the planet's resources and affects the natural world, but it's the way we breathlessly race to consume without a thought for the consequences that shocks me.

Orang-utans are very emotive but I think we all have to look at ways we can put less pressure on the planet in general.

At the moment the human race seems ridiculously short-sighted.

[amandamarten]

I have heard that Oran-Gutan means 'Man of the Forrest' in the local language on Sumatra. These guys are our cousins. It is outright murder to treat them like this! To destroy the rain-forests might well be to ruin a major oxygen producer. I don't believe in global warming, all our energy comes from the sun, but to destroy the rain-forests might cause such a change in climate that we humans will perish. If we do, we deserve it!

[winch225]

You know, I don't cry very often but my mother sent me this via email not that long ago and recieved it through a support group, I sat at my desk and cried when I watched it then and I'm off again! They are just like babies.

[Loutjuh112]

Really nice work :) making this video.. Please .. everyone! .. GO WATCH THIS.. Best video ever :) Comon guys.. together we can make it :)

[Atsiylah]

Gut wrenching! 30 seconds into this clip I was in tears. Worth sharing a link to this clip, with everyone you know! Great work!

[penpan]

These magnificent, intelligent orangutans need our help more than eve now. The greed and ignorance of so much of mankind and what they are doing to destroy these animals and their habitat is dispcable. the work that groups like this are doing to help prtoect and save them is so brave and inspirational.

[uksuzi]

Excellent video. Well done. Keep up the great work.

[jean87654]

Just what is up with the human race? We also have to spare a though for all the monkeys. They aren't as big and sexy as gorillas, chimpanzees and orangutans, but they are just as wonderful. The great apes groups collect almost all donations. Groups like the International Primate Protection League should not be overlooked. They work on issues that affect all primates.

This is a an excellent video. I don't know what it will take to stir people to action.

[coolcarys123]

I am only 15 but when i am 18 i plan to go there and do voluntary work for a month, come home get a degree and stay out in borneo.

This kind of treatment is un human, its hard to believe we are the same race as them.

[MRforever100]

What a mess we are making of our beautiful planet and it's innocent inhabitants. Thank God for organisations like BOS. Please help if you can.

[jubjubguy]

It's so sad to see these beautiful creatures being cruelly treated and especially to see their homes - the forests - being cut down, the Government there is mad to allow this to continue to happen.

BOS are doing a wonderful job, please give whatever you can afford to this wonderful organisation.

[asdakquinn]

Completely moving and this should, get people to find out more about the threats to these animals, raise awareness, campaign against non-sustainable Palm Oil Plantations. Well done on making this powerful video.

[cityslicker2121]

What are we doing? ....

[phasetwentytwo]

Great video! This is a very moving story and a worthy cause.

I've supported Borneo Orangutan Survival for a while now. If everyone who watches this donates anything they can afford we could really make a difference! Just Google "Save the Orangutan" and hit "I'm feeling lucky" to find them. :)
