Celebrating #InternationalOrangutanDay (a few days late). With diminishing habitats, sightings of #wildlife like this in #Kabili-SepilokForestReserve of #Sabah #Borneo #Malaysia are becoming more and more precious to me.

#InternationalOrangutanDay is over for another year… but #orangutans need us always. 🦧
Every day is an opportunity to make a difference & to support the organisations working to save them & their forest habitats.
Each small action adds up to something powerful. Let’s make every day an orangutan day.

#InternationalOrangutanDay 🦧

#folklore of the Dayak people of Borneo say the orangutan was originally a human who pretended to be unable to speak and climbed trees to escape having to work

#orangutan originates from the Malay and Indonesian words: orang (human), hutan (forest)

🧡 It’s #InternationalOrangutanDay!
Today belongs to the forest’s real swing kings 🐒🌴

Thank you for caring and sharing today! Let’s keep this momentum going all year long!

INTERNATIONAL ORANGUTAN DAY
While on holiday in Paris many years ago, Silas let an orangutan out of the city zoo. This garnered much unnecessary attention.

In a First, an Orangutan Healed His Own Wound Using a Known Medicinal Plant The primate named Rakus chewed up yellow root and applied it to an open facial wound, closing the sore within days

In more than 20 years of field research, Rakus is the first orangutan to be observed using a medicinal plant to treat wounds. #InternationalOrangutanDay #Indonesia

On #InternationalOrangutanDay, my favorite picture of Walimah from my postdoc fieldwork in Gunung Palung National Park. She's got three fruit in her mouth, and there's more ready to go in each foot. 🦧⚱️🌏

How to "Speak" Orangutan this #InternationalOrangutanDay!
Orangutans do not have the ability to speak like we do, but they do have complex ways of communicating through facial expressions, vocalizations, body postures, and gestures.

How the spectacular Sumatran orangutan is essential to its ecosystem | One Earth As the heaviest mammals to travel by tree, Sumatran orangutans swing branch to branch and disperse seeds throughout the rainforest.

On this #InternationalOrangutanDay, let’s celebrate and protect the Sumatran orangutan, a vital keystone species whose survival is essential for the health of their rainforest home. 🦧

It is #InternationalOrangutanDay; a time to raise awareness about this critically endangered great ape & the threats they face from human activities. Tragically #orangutans can still be found languishing in zoos & exploited as photo 'props' for tourists to take selfies.

"If we are to save the orangutans and their forest habitat, and address the catastrophic impacts associated with conventional palm oil production, we MUST do all we can to make #SUSTAINABLE palm oil the norm."

🦧 It's #InternationalOrangutanDay 🦧!
Did you know? All three species of orangutans are critically endangered.

Why?
🔸 Habitat loss, mainly for oil palm plantations and mining
🔸 Human-wildlife conflict
🔸 Illegal hunting and wildlife trade

But YOU can help!

What about the caged half-crazed
orang-utan who vomits because
he has nothing else to do?

Today is International Orangutan Day!
Did you know orangutans share about 97% of their DNA with us? They’re our forest cousins—and among the most intelligent beings on Earth!
