Primates of Indonesia

Wanna to know more about Siamang, Orangutan, or Macaques?

This is the right video for you:



Toward the end of the video, the narrator mentioned about how deforestation and medical research are proven to be harmful to these wonderful creatures... what should we do to protect them?

Stop deforestation could be one way, besides its effect of greenhouse gases emission and global warming, to stop deforestation could mean to conserved wildlife. The best if we can do reforestation. Salute goes to to Indonesia's Ministry of Environment for its reforestation program.... Thanks Mr. Witoelar (Indonesian Minister for Environment and the current chairperson of United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) for the initiative.

I wish I can do something more than to spread the awareness...
