In response to #1 (below),:orangutans are released into protected/ patrolled areas of rainforest to prevent hunting & abuse. Also, you're watching toddlers. Just like human teenagers who spend less time with parents, adult orangutans seek privacy. I've seen a huge difference in one year's time among the at the Care Center where I work. Natural instincts kick in. Yes, it can seem overwhelming, but we can't give up. You can make donations to buy hectares of rain forest for this purpose.

hej, lone. jeg beundre dig så meget, og har set næsten alle dine udsendelser, hvor din kamp for aberne er som at kæmpe mod 2 skelevægge- af synspunkter om bevarelse af disse dejlige dyr- den anden væg er primitiv-ego-ubarnhjertelig, for liv. TAK for rigtigt dejligt stort arbejde, har din mail, hilsen vibeke hansen denmark.

Sad & tragic as it is for these babies, the reality is, if deforestation & habitat loss continue, it is NOT logical to help rescuing them, who need very large, prestine habitats to live in. They are not meant to live in caged facilities. We, as homo sapiens, either leave them some of the earth's habitats or we should not even try rescuing them. Extinct animals are better off than caged animals, especially for the large majestic ones who have psychosis & neurosis in captivity.

there's got to be more that can be done than adpoting. We need LAWS in place to make cutting down the forests illegal. Why can't the locals organize and go out to the forests and refuse to move in the face of bulldozers etc, while another group organizes to adress governments and demand certain laws to be put in place. Our consumarism will end one day anyway, when there are no more resources, what will we do then when the planet is literally destroyed and has nothing more to give us?
