Monday Muse January 30th, 2012 by C.S.Ling 0 comments

It’s the Year 2012, we’ve decided to raise greater awareness for Endangered Wildlife worldwide with a series of desktop wallpapers for all to decorate, learn and enjoy.

For February, we decided to feature the endangered Orangutans – the only great ape of Asia is also known as “The Man of the Forest”. They live and depend on the rainforests on
the islands of Borneo & Sumatra. The main cause of their endangerment are habitat loss due to the mono-culture palm oil plantations and rampant illegal pet trade.

In Sept 2010, Life List Chase traveled to BOSF Nyaru Menteng to document the plight of 600+ orangutan orphans in Central Kalimantan, Borneo. This is Mikko, the 2nd youngest orangutan when he first arrived at BOSF Nyaru Menteng in Feb 2010 following a confiscation from a nearby village.
