Orangutan Research in Borneo 40 Year Anniversary Tribute to Dr. Birute Galdikas

Evelyn Gallardo, http://DiscoveryBeachouse.com is the author of Among the Orangutans - The Birute Galdikas Story. She was inspired to write her book after working as a volunteer with Dr. Galdikas on the Orangutan Project in Borneo. Evelyn made this video as a tribute to Dr. Galdikas on her 40th Anniversary of field research.

Little did Jane Goodall's and Dian Fossey's colleague, Birute Galdikas realize in 1971 after arriving in the Borneo rain forest that 40 years later she would still be conducting the longest term research about these illusive red apes Indonesians call "Person of the Forest."

@utoobjunkie4902 Thank you! I've enjoyed every minute.

Of course, I remember you! You asked me to volunteer to let your leeches bite me and suck my blood when you were measuring how long they feed. That's the grossest thing I've ever done (unless you count eating roasted silkworms and crickets in Thailand). How are you? Where are you?
