God is an awesome God who created these magnificent animals.

WE NEED TO SAVE THE BEAUTIFUL TREES AND OUR RAIN FOREST THAT IS STILL LEFT.

[@donny9078]

It's up to the governments of these areas they do claim to be doing their very best to combat deforestation but they really don't give a fuck about anything other than what financially benefits them, until these areas do get leaders who do care deforestation will continue until nothing is left, ridiculous but true

[@donny9078]

@Jabari Safari that is just ridiculous

Stop buying palm oil to start with

[@darlingnikki1353]

I 💙 orangs. In fact it is my goal to -and I haven't figured out my exact calling yet - help these animals in whatever way destiny decides I should. I love them so so much - it's ineffable the connection I feel towards our cousins ☺

[@IDontKnow-pf6en]

well, good news, you can start by stopping the use of any and all products that contain palm oil, and you can campaign for others to do the same, even if thats just by telling your friends as a start. you can do it! God Bless!

[@magicmoney9653]

At least they might have gotten some good compost out of this otherwise useless animal. Americans and Brits , who come as tourists and get to go home far removed from the conflict these creatures cause are the only ones whining about the issue. That's why the Indonesian government doesn't give 2 shts about the opinions of the west and I agree. They have every right to take advantage of economic opportunity and people In the West need to STFU. More worried about your vacation spots than about the economic opportunity of the Indonesian children.

Orang Utan and Cappuchin are my favorites.

[@shaindaman13]

If their were no humans 7 million years ago, which I do agree with, but only apes then how come they’re are now humans yet still the same apes?

[@Eva-oe3se]

The answer is: The whole evolution is bullshit.

[@georgiadarcy6373]

Evolution is not linear. Later species do not replace earlier ones. New species emerge due to random gene mutations. If the mutation is of benefit to survival in the environment of those individuals then more like that will be born. Later species are not upgrades of earlier species they are just a different way of surviving adapted to the environment in which they live. So there is no reason for the other great apes to disappear just because humans now exist. They are perfectly adapted to their rainforest environment. The only reason they are dying and critically endangered is because humans are cutting down and selling their rainforests as woodchips and toilet paper.

Thank you

[@serunismt]

Thank you for yr beautiful documentary. How on earth we help Orang Utan if the whole world buying palm oil in crazy quantities ??? It's kinda sad the whole world actually contributed to the decline of Orang Utan 😢

MAN OF THE FOREST

[@zemunusrcu3805]

Can they fall from the threes?

[@BestPlconEarth50]

no orang safety protocol dictates they are tied into a climbing harness after crossing 10' above ground.

[@griffhenshaw5631]

interesting how they are solitary vs most other apes . 97 vs 99% DNA of humans shared. They in many ways are more like humans. I worked in Asia westerners have a hard time understanding life is different there. What we value isn't always the same. The people and the governments need to value these animals in jungles and jungles.

3:09 "it's not realistic to just _____" what? And push myself...," What is he saying about not being able to find orangutans by himself. I totally get the gist of it, but I'm curious as to what word (s) he's mumbling there or if my hearing and recognition skills are just really that fucked (i.e. this is NOT the first time I've left similar question/ comments here on the KZbins) Thanks 🫂
