‘Should we leave them to die?’ The battle over how to save orangutans from the curse of palm oil

The long read: As new settlers clear their forest habitat, the apes are coming into conflict with humans. But simply moving them to another part of the forest may not be the answer

We steal their #land, we destroy their #habitat, & then turn round & blame the #orangutans if they try to defend themselves, it seems, @palmoildetectives! The #injustice of that is absolutely glaring, & reeks of #speciesism.

A Fragile Future

Despite their intelligence and capacity for love, #primates face a grim reality due to human expansion.

Deforestation: Rapid logging leaves intelligent mothers and infants clinging to fragile fragments of their clear-cut world.

Habitat Loss: In a heart-wrenching "David vs. Goliath" scenario, solitary #orangutans are seen desperately trying to fight off industrial bulldozers with their bare hands to protect their disappearing homes.

To keep these great #apes engaged at the #Melbourne #Zoo, keepers use #drones to deliver enrichment packages to platforms 12 meters above the ground. This challenge encourages Malu to climb high and use his problem-solving skills to retrieve his snacks.
