#Regenwald.org #Spanien: Schafft endlich ein Gesetz zum Schutz der #Menschenaffen!#Schimpansen, #Gorillas, #OrangUtans und #Bonobos werden in Spanien in Gefangenschaft gehalten in Zoos und auch für die Unterhaltungsindustrie. Sehr oft unter unwürdigen Bedingungen.

regenwald.orgSpanien: Schafft endlich ein Gesetz zum Schutz der Menschenaffen!Die spanische Regierung hat sich verpflichtet, im Rahmen ihres Tierschutzgesetzes ein Gesetz zum Schutz von Bonobos, Orang-Utans, Schimpansen und Gorillas zu erlassen. Sie hat dies noch nicht getan, und die Uhr tickt gegen unsere gefährdeten nahen Verwandten im Tierreich. Unterzeichnen Sie die Petition für die Menschenaffen.

Baby orangutans, sadly not in the wild but (luckily) on a playground at the rescue & rehabilitation centre Nyaru Menteng in Borneo. The well-run centre has often been featured in TV documentary series ("Orangutan Diary", "Orangutan Island", "Orangutan Jungle School").
/contd. in Alt txt

Fifteen or so young orangutans are playing on an under a wooden platform. One is sitting in the foreground of the picture, eating a watermelon. Rainforest can be seen in the background.

Because of potential human-ape infection transmission I was not allowed any closer as a one-off visitor and only had a little Canon point&shoot at the time. But that visit is a treasured memory (2011).
Donations to the centre are always needed and welcome.

"Well-managed #forests and community involvement are changing the narrative for #orangutan #conservation... YKAN has worked with local villages on forest protection, management and enforcement... This has resulted in a 29,000-hectare protected area as well as sustainable management of 532,000 hectares of #forest in a wider landscape."
