With this sentence, as long as it is widely publicized in the region, anyone considering capturing, killing or keeping an orangutan illegally will certainly think twice about it, and hopefully the numbers being killed and kept in the coming years will begin to decline.” [...] [...] Ian Singleton, Director of Conservation for the PanEco Foundation and the person in charge of the SOCP, added: “It’s absolutely fantastic to finally have a prosecution of an illegal orangutan ‘owner’ in Sumatra, but it’s also long overdue.

I hope the country that has these animals can work something out and they stop the killing. I find myself watching the show, and wishing it was an hour long :) Sincerely, N.

Often reports are out of date; and as deforestation is such a rapid process its hard to know what the current position is. I've recently been to East Kalimantan and carried our a short 3 week voluntary program with Orangutans. It provided me with an up to date insight into the complicated process of conservation; but left me bewildered as to whether ANYTHING could be done to save the forest. On return I am much more optomistic that at least somethng will be done so long as big companies are forced by campaigners to do the right thing as quickly as possible. I am doing my little bit with my own company in relation to sustainable palm oil. We are not big users like Unilver but on the basis that everything counts we are significant and my passion for the best outcome has been recognised in our company and has given people a wake up call. The sustainable palm oil process has been excrutiatingly slow over the last few years but I'm working onthe basis that 2012 has to have a step change in speeding up. The more focus that conservation groups can give this the better it will be; particularly when supported by solid research data such as yours. I hope you and your team and others like you feel very valuable. Susan You have done great work and it so valuable to read up to date information.
