Orangutans are highly intelligent creatures that share 97% of human DNA. But these beloved primates are also critically endangered and so are the habitats they live in.
Today’s episode is a conversation with world-renowned orangutan expert Leif Cocks who is also the founder and president of The Orangutan Project and has 30 plus years experience working with orangutans and advocating for rainforest protection and building sustainable local communities.
We take a deep look into what it takes to protect orangutans in the wild which is crucial to their saving. We also explore climate change initiatives which include avoiding deforestation, investing in improved agriculture practices in indigenous and local communities and why a sustainable economy is the way forward.
This episode has a lot of heart and it will explore the collective opportunity that is present to protect people, animals and the planet and the urgency to do so.
