On International Orangutan Day, I thought I would share some of my favorite images of these gorgeous and unique great apes.
The population of these beautiful creatures in the wild, THEIR own habitat, is sadly and quickly declining. You can read more about their loss of habitat and life due to the demand for palm oil and being sold on the black market into the illegal pet trade here.
I’m going to make it a point to be more proactive in checking ingredients before purchasing products that may contain palm oil and also make a donation to The Sumatran Orangutan Society, one of many organizations that are raising money to help these creatures. What are you going to do? If you want to make a donation to help out you can do so here. Let’s show these amazing great apes the love they deserve!!!
