Spanish soccer star Carles Puyol is the face of a new campaign that seeks to halt the orangutan's dramatic slide towards extinction
Puyol is the centrepiece of dramatic posters that state, "I Care - Do You?" and asks supporters to visit a special website that provides information on orangutan conservation, re-forestation, and the impact of palm oil production on orang-utan habitat.
For every individual who pledges their support on the 'Act Now For Orangutans' website, GRASP will plant a tree to help expand key forests surrounding Sumatra's Gunung Leuser National Park - a major orangutan habitat.
The campaign website can be found at www.actnowfororangutans.org
"The plight of the orangutan is an issue that touches me profoundly," Puyol said. "When I was asked if I would support the campaign, I didn't hesitate. Time is running out fast for these magnificent great apes and I'm proud to be part of efforts to save them."
Puyol's "Act Now for Orangutans" posters - which feature the 33-year old defender standing in front of images of orangutans in distress - are available in English, Spanish and Bahasa Indonesian, and will be displayed as billboards and banners in Indonesia.
"Orangutans face a very real threat of extinction, perhaps within the next few decades," said Doug Cress, GRASP coordinator. "It will take a significant effort by leaders across all walks of life to halt this crisis, and we are very pleased that Carles has stepped up."
GRASP was created by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) in 2001 to respond to the global conservation crisis facing chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans and bonobos and lift the threat of imminent extinction. GRASP is a unique alliance comprised of range states, UN agencies, conservation organizations, and private and corporate supporters.
International Animal Rescue (IAR) is a U.K.-based organization whose team in West Kalimantan, Borneo, rescues and rehabilitates orangutans whose forest home has been destroyed. Some are babies that have been caught from the wild, others are full-grown adults that have spent years in captivity as unwanted and neglected pets.
Led by Executive Director and Chief Veterinarian Karmele Llano Sanchez, the team works round the clock in the care of these primates with the aim of eventually returning them to protected areas of forest.
"In Borneo, as more and more rainforest is destroyed for palm oil plantations, humans and wildlife are forced to compete for space and resources," Sanchez said. "In such a dire situation, it is hard to convince people that they should protect the orangutans, not persecute them.
"But Carles Puyol is a sporting hero in Indonesia and idolised by young and old. Thanks to him we will be able to spread our message to a vast new audience, raising their awareness of the desperate plight of the orangutan and encouraging them to support our efforts to save it."

DHS to host meetings
BISMARCK – The N.D. Department of Human Services is hosting meetings in the state's eight largest communities in September to gather information about local and regional human service needs and priorities. The department invites consumers of its services, health and human service providers, advocates and other interested individuals to participate.
"We hold these community conversations every two years to engage stakeholders about community needs and concerns as well as successes that are making a difference in the lives of North Dakotans," said Maggie Anderson, the department's executive director. "The feedback is used to help shape how services are provided and for planning the department's future budget proposals."
The meeting scheduled for Minot will be Sept. 25, from 2 to 4 p.m. at North Central Human Service Center, 1015 S. Broadway, Suite 18, Conference Rooms 311 and 411.
In addition to the community meetings, members of the department's senior management team will hold employee meetings to hear suggestions on how the department can serve clients and other stakeholders more effectively.
People who are unable to attend a community meeting can submit ideas, concerns or recommendations about agency services to the department at 600 E. Boulevard Ave., Dept. 325, Bismarck, N.D. 58505-0250 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Assistance with federal health insurance on way
The North Dakota Center for Persons with Disabilities, a Center of Excellence at Minot State University, has been awarded a $414,000 cooperative agreement from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to assist North Dakotans with accessing health care insurance through the federal Health Insurance Exchange.
"North Dakota decided to be a part of the Federal Healthcare Exchange, which will become known as the Marketplace. Residents will choose from a variety of health care plans with the open-enrollment period being from Oct. 1, 2013, to March 31, 2014," said Neil Scharpe, Navigator project director. "If individuals enroll in plans before Dec. 31, 2013, coverage should begin Jan. 1, 2014. For those enrolling in January or February of 2014, expectations are that coverage will begin the month following enrollment."
NDCPD will establish a statewide collaborative network of regional navigators and certified application counselors. Navigators, stationed in each of the state's eight human service regions, will coordinate recruitment of additional CACs from local community organizations to meet that region's needs. The regional navigator will synchronize training, disseminate educational materials, and monitor the unbiased implementation of the Affordable Care Act by assisting all North Dakotans in choosing an appropriate health care plan that best fits their needs.
NDCPD will provide navigator support to people who are uninsured or underinsured. Specifically targeted groups include North Dakotans most at risk of being uninsured: people with mild disabilities, people with mental health disorders, farmers, young adults, Native Americans, small-business persons, people who are unemployed and people who are drug or alcohol addicted.
For questions, contact Scharpe at email@example.com or 858-3596.

Symposium tackles issues of women/newborns
Domestic violence, obesity and drug use can have a profound impact on maternal and newborn health. They're just a few of the issues to be tackled at the 33rd Annual Symposium on Perinatal Medicine and Women's Health Care presented by Trinity Health Thursday and Friday at the Grand Hotel in Minot.
About 150 caregivers from across the region are expected to attend the two-day conference, which features national and local experts discussing a variety of medical and cultural topics related to the care of women and newborns. "This is the 33rd year we've been doing this, and every year it seems to grow," said Nadine Nelson, Trinity education specialist. "We have an organizing committee of nurses, staff development professionals and others from the perinatal and women's health field. Then each year we ask our conference participants to suggest topics for the following year."
One topic that emerged from conference feedback deals with the obesity epidemic. Dr. Thomas Carver, a neonatologist and pediatrician with Trinity Health, will discuss the effects obesity can have on a woman's pregnancy and her offspring.
Maternal drug use will be the subject of a panel discussion by Dr. Heather Podgorski, assistant professor of pediatrics at the University of Minnesota Amplatz Children's Hospital; Steve Niebuhr, a special agent with the Bureau of Criminal Investigation; and Kim Kraft, a social worker and case manager with Trinity Health.
Terry Eckmann, a faculty member at Minot State University, will present Women's Fitness: From Young to Young at Heart.
Other topics include infant adoption, domestic violence, immunization, diabetes in pregnancy, and maternal and child health disparities among American Indians. For further information, call 857-2452.
