Various of orangutans at OFI care centre LEADIN:Conservationists say tourism is one way of helping to save the critically endangered orangutans on the Indonesian island of Borneo. Land clearing and poaching have left Asia's only great apes on the brink of extinction. Now a range of different projects are underway to ensure the orange inhabitants of the jungle don't die out. STORYLINE:Learning the ropes at this orangutan care centre on the Indonesian island of Borneo. Full of energy, these infants are being taught how to fend for themselves and forge new friendships.  Over the next few years, they'll be regulars at forest school where they'll learn how to climb, forage for food and build a nest to survive in the wild. Cute and cuddly, these orangutans are also symbol of the turmoil facing Asia's only great apes. All of them are orphans - victims of land clearing and poaching which has left tens of thousands of wild orangutans dead. But these are the lucky ones. They were rescued and now live at a sanctuary run by charity Orangutan Foundation International (OFI) in central Kalimantan provinceOFI relies entirely on donations and is currently looking after 330 rescued orangutans with the aim of rehabilitating them for release back into the wild. \"They are our kin, our blood kin and it would be a sadder more lonelier world if we were to let our blood kin go extinct,\" says OFI founder and president, Dr. Birute Galdikas Dr Galdikas is well known in the field of primatology and is recognised as the world's leading authority on orangutans.  In 1971, she was chosen to be one of the so-called \"Trimates\" – alongside Jane Goodall and Dian Fossey – to study the great apes in their natural environment. Back then, there were nearly 300 thousand of them swinging through the lush forests of Borneo and Sumatra - today there are around 50 thousand. In July, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) declared Borneo's orangutans critically endangered, joining their Sumatran cousins. The IUCN found that hunting, habitat destruction and land degradation are the biggest factors.Dr. Galdikas has lived in the forest for the past 45 years and continues to study orangutans at the Camp Leakey research centre in Tanjung Puting National Park. She says over the past 20 years, 90 percent of the world's orangutan habitat has been destroyed, despite there being laws to protect it. \"The will locally to enforce these regulations and laws is often not present and that's because the lure of easy money from palm oil is too great,\" she says. The UN estimates that over the past 20 years more than 3.5 million hectares of forest have been destroyed to make way for palm oil plantations. Palm oil is in around half of all packaged supermarket products from snack foods to soaps. The amount of land used for palm oil has doubled over the past decade, while the number of orangutans has halved, according to OFI. \"When a palm oil plantation is established, the orangutans that used to live there become refugees in their own land. They starve, they start raiding the young palm oil plants, they destroy them and of course, the palm oil managers, concessionaires tend to kill them,\" says Dr. Galdikas.The word orangutan means 'person of the forest' in Malay. They share 97 percent of the same DNA as humans and their mothers nurture their children until they are around 8 years old. OFI is just one of the many charities and organisations working to save them, employing local people to work as rangers, carers and tour guides.Indonesian campaigners, like Thomas Sari Wuwur are also doing their bit to educate people about the importance of saving the great apes.\"We have a schedule to educate local people and then we train them to be guides and everything. Some people from the, if they work in a palm oil at present, they change their mind, they stop working there and they move to the tourism.\"Ironically, what's threatening orangutans in the wild is what could inevitably help save them - humans. Eco tourism is bringing more money and awareness to their plight and also helps local people to earn a living away from industries which destroy the forests.\"Because of the orangutan, local people are now 'oh this looks like the tourist'. They pay, they buy the supplies and everything. They hire the boats, they hire the local guide, they hire the cook and everything. So that's very useful for the local people,\" says Sari Wuwur.OFI runs small group eco tours several times a year that go behind the scenes of it study and care centres to educate people about palm oil and land clearing and the impact on native species across Borneo.Visitors aren't allowed to handle the orangutans and must undergo medical checks and wear protective face masks to ensure they don't pass on any sickness. Money raised from the tours goes back to funding the care of sick and orphaned orangutans and also helping to buy land to protect the rainforest from being cleared.Dr. Galdikas says sustainable tourism has helped fund many programs to release orangutans back into the wild.  She says the best campaigner for an orangutan is an orangutan themselves.\"They come back and their lives have changed because they have experienced kinship with an creature that is not human, but in some ways - how should I say it politely - has more qualities that are valuable than humans.\"Just one of many efforts to help save the orange people of the jungle from extinction. ====Clients are reminded: (i) to check the terms of their licence agreements for use of content outside news programming and that further advice and assistance can be obtained from the AP Archive on: Tel +44 (0) 20 7482 7482 Email: info@aparchive.com.
