#News: Orangutans are vanishing! 🦧🔥 50% of recent #palmoil clearing in Borneo was in PRIMARY FORESTS, destroying the last corridors for Bornean #orangutans. With Sumatran & Tapanuli species also crashing, all 3 are CRITICALLY ENDANGERED. #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife @palmoildetect.bsky.social

There are lots of tools you can use to find out who is using sustainable palm oil.

Organisations and experts concerned about the impacts of palm oil DON'T support a blanket boycott of palm oil.
Far better to demand #DeforestationFree #Sustainable #PalmOil.

Most of a young orangutan’s solo trial and error starts with watching. In a 12-year study of wild Sumatran orangutans, one bout of peering kept exploration elevated for about 145 minutes. #Primatology #Orangutans #AnimalCulture www.primatology.net/p/young-oran...

The Borneo Orangutan Rescue Alliance (BORA) confiscates illegally held captive #orangutans. After extensive rehabilitation at the BORA centre, they release them into protected habitat, and monitor them to ensure they are adapting to life in the wild.

Learning style predicts survival skills in young #orangutans: how much knowledge a wild orangutan acquires over its long development depends on its tendencies for #learning socially and individually www.mpg.de/26983581/lea...

Adult #orangutans feed on 250 distinct food items, which they choose from thousands of options in the wide maze of the rainforest. Infants must learn this complex curriculum before they reach independence at the age of eight. How do they do this? www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzFH... #animalbehavior
