Release of a known wild adult male from study area who had been treated at OFI’s Care Center for brutal injuries sustained while fighting another adult male. Adult male now recovered but it was touch and go for a while!
Meet Akmad who was the first orangutan rescued by Dr. Biruté Galdikas!
Head to ▶️ https://t.co/2V5uwMmXrl to read from Dr. Biruté own words about Akmad's significance!
Please remember, repeat & retweet: “For ecological & wild orangutan population survival we need all #palmoil companies, whether their plantations were established in the past or will be in the future to be sustainable. We need RESTITUTION RESTORATION and RE-WILDING.”
But what about all the forest in Borneo already destroyed by plantations? How do we make those #palmoil plantations established in the past sustainable? Much harder than to establish future plantations, eh?I have 3 words: restitution, restoration, and re-wilding! That’s all!
