As deforestation for oil palm production shows no sign of slowing down, scientists do what they can to halt the carnage and rehabilitate the last surviving orangutans on the island of Sumatra.
1000 Days for the Planet is the latest project from world-renowned scientist and UN Ambassador for the Environment, Jean Lemire. Lemire explores the world from his 50-foot sailboat, the Sedna IV, stopping everywhere from Alaska to the Philippines. Along the way, the series reveals the extraordinary beauty of the planet whilst helping us understand how our living environments function, and ultimately ponder the great challenges we all face.
Exploring life from ocean depths to mountain peaks, and from vast savannahs to the heart of the jungle, this series is beautiful and challenging. 1000 Days for the Planet is a journey around our vast planet to discover life’s extraordinary diversity and to bear witness to its fragile balance.

Is this the new colonialism , a way to keep these people poor over a bunch of useless apes? And what is Indonesia doing having these traitors who they graciously let into their conntry to study these fifthy apes. Now they get on TV and badmouth them Deport these people and take your country, wildlife, and economy back.. And don't let white folks back into your country again. They care more about fifthy animals than about your children and their future. Apparently we need to deny the very poor children of Indonesia a future over a bunch of stinking apes? Because only Europeans and Americans children are allowed generational wealth.

. Do you notice only people from the west are up here whining about these useless apes and how cruel these locals are? If your kids were hungry and you could feed them and pay your bills for a year, all you had to do was take one of these "pests" babies or starve? Guaranteed your shooting an orangutan. Where is your concern for the children of this country who live in abject poverty without the basics in life like food, medical care etc. ? Or are you only concerned with these apes that have clearly outlived their usefulness? It's. A very complex problem and I'm not going to deny the children of Indonesia economic opportunity over a bunch of hideous apes.

As consumers we have the right to know exactly what goes in to the making of the products on our shelves. Not just the price, and the ingredients but the business practices themselves. Couldn't there be a QR system or something so that when I buy products I can scan them and choose the lesser of evils? IDK. Like I realize that palm oil is in almost everything at the store but I would rather pay a few cents more for something that wasn't contributing to the brutal torture of an endangered species.

@hoon_sol 6 ай бұрын

Except "make a living" these days is living extremely luxuriously compared to what humans actually need, even for "poor" people. Orangutans get all their food and shelter from the trees, and humans can do the same. If you want more than that, then you better make damn sure it doesn't negatively harm the environment or other peaceful and intelligent creatures, but humans of course just don't give a flying fuck. Can't wait until humans are extinct.

If the situation on Borneo is so desperate, why don't you reintroduce orangutans to Vietnam, Cambodia and other parts of Asia where they lived not so far ago till the last Ice Age? It's plenty of forests there, good environment and far more area than on Borneo and Sumatra. Vietnam and Cambodia themselves have around 50% of their area (or even more) covered by forests. Sounds like a heaven.

@hoon_sol 6 ай бұрын

The forests in those places have been totally decimated, and were never even nearly as rich as the Borneo forests in the first place. Malaysian forests could possibly support some, but they're getting cleared rapidly too. Java perhaps, but the forest situation there is even worse. And those forest percentages can be very misleading, because it's not necessarily as well-connected, as productive, or as low as the ones the orangutans have adapted to. If you look at the two places via Maps, you'll see a very clear difference. The evidence that they lived there as recently as you mention is also scant, and definitely not a proven fact. I'm not against the idea of it, but I don't think it's workable, and we should rather focus on getting all the deranged lunatics who are driving deforestation on Borneo to stop, although I don't really have any hope anymore at this stage myself. 100% pessimistic and misanthropic by now, don't really see how humanity will even manage to prevent their own extinction eventually.

These are apes, not monkeys; specifically they are great apes (Hominidae), just like us. Knowing the names and characters of orangutans is not uncommon for people studying them, because just like humans they are quite distinct and have very distinct personalities. As for the country, this is the island of Sumatra (it literally says it in the title of the video), which is part of Indonesia. The forests are being cleared to make room for palm oil plantations, totally destroying primordial forests that will take thousands of years to recover, all so that humans can guzzle and otherwise use palm oil in a variety of products, and keep endlessly multiplying. If this doesn't make you sick to your stomach, you simply haven't realized just how evil humans are yet. A totally miserable failure of a species, or rather a pathetic excuse for one.

Also, the creation of capital through this ecological calamity is not being equally distributed, obviously!
