An orphaned orangutan named Chen Chen, featured on Animal Planet’s Orangutan Island, has taken it upon himself to play santa to one of the cameramen filming him and the 35 other young orangutans on the island. …

A comment from : http://www.youtube.com/user/primateshelping
The Climate Top at Copenhagen was? a complete failure, now it will be bussiness as usuel: logging the last rainforests, violating the rights of the indigenous people, destroying the very valuable biodiversity, killing orangutans and all other animals and in the end fastening global warming by the enormous quantity of CO2 that is going to set free by the logging.
WILL WE NEVER LEARN ?

“Depuis presque 20 ans, Alain Compost est le partenaire privilégié de tous mes tournages “Ushuaïa ” en Indonésie et dans d’autres regions du monde. Sa connaissance de la faune et de la flore d’Asie est irremplacable . Des insectes les plus rares au babiroussa, des phasmes au rhinocéros de Java, ses images révélent les trésors naturels de l’archipel. De la camera endoscopique aux lourds dispositifs de la HD et ses super Tele objectifs , Compost s’adapte aux configurations de tournage les plus extrêmes. Naturaliste, homme d’image, il est aussi et surtout sincèrement engagé dans la conservation du monde sauvage.” Bernard Guerrini, Realisateur pour Ushuaia
