Saving the Orangutans
Dr Willie Smits has devoted the last 13 years to working and campaigning
for the survival of orangutans in Borneo. Current field research
data estimates that the species will be extinct in the wild in
our lifetime, if habitat clearing is not halted immediately.
On Friday November 12th 2004, Dr Smits addressed a fundraising
Gala dinner at Melbourne Zoo. Proceeds were directed to orangutan
conservation, specifically the Mawas area in Central Kalimantan,
Indonesia, where there is a total population of 3,350 wild orangutans.
Willie discussed the innovative habitat conservation methods being
used by BOS Foundation to help protect these animals.
Sustain Ability International is a proud supporter of the BOS
Foundation in Australia. For more information go to www.orangutans.com.au
