Severely Malnourished Male Orangutan Rescued from Fragment of Forest in Indonesian Borneo
On Monday, 28th August 2017, Orangutan Foundation together with the local wildlife authority, managed to rescue an orangutan, found stranded in a forested area between a village and an oil-palm plantation in Central Kalimantan. The orangutan, an adult male of around 17 years of age, only weighed 80kg – about two thirds its expected weight.
Orangutan Foundation on alert for forest fires
Orangutan Foundation have been tackling fires only a few kilometres from the boundary of the Lamandau Wildlife Reserve, home to some 500 critically endangered Bornean orangutans and many other threatened species.
Our committed team of Indonesian staff are working with the Indonesian Wildlife Department and the local community to extinguish the fires.

Bornean Orangutans in Rapid Decline Despite Conservation Efforts
Jakarta, Indonesia
Things are looking down for Bornean orangutans.
The first ever population trend analysis of Bornean orangutan shows that despite decades of conservation work the species is declining rapidly. In fact, the study indicates that the Bornean orangutan declined at a rate of 25% over the past 10 years.

Orangutan, Aan to Remain Permanently Blind Despite Expert's Best Efforts to Restore Sight
An orangutan who was blinded after being shot 104 times with an air rifle underwent surgery a few days ago to remove a cataract, which was probably caused by this trauma. Claudia Hartley, an ophthalmic surgeon, led the British team of experts, including John Lewis, one of the UK's leading wildlife veterinarians. Post operation, initial signs were promising and the eye looked clear and healthy. However, it is now thought that the optic nerve must have suffered irreparable damage, when she was shot, which wasn't detectable before the surgery. The Orangutan Foundation's vet has been monitoring Aan's progress and is saddened to report that she isn't showing signs of any vision.
Orangutan Foundation is hugely disappointed and we know our members and supporters will be too. The focus is on Aan's long-term care and welfare as she will never be suitable for release back into the wild. Orangutans can live well into their forties, Aan is thought to be around 14 to 15 years old.
Thank you to every one for their support.

Blind Orangutan Has Op To Restore Sight After Being Shot 104 Times
Aan had a cataract operation on her right eye while her left eye, which was ruptured by dozens of air rifle pellets, was removed.
Cautious Optimism for Blind Orangutan
Claudia Hartley, the ophthalmic surgeon, and her team in Borneo have removed the cataract from Aan's eye. It wasn't obvious immediately if there was any damage to the optic nerve and if Aan's sight would be restored but the eye looked healthy and clear. The damaged eye was removed because it was thought to be causing Aan pain. It may take a few weeks to know whether or not the surgery to restore her sight was successful. Meanwhile she is being monitored daily by the Orangutan Foundation staff at Camp Gemini, Lamandau Wildlife Reserve.
Orangutan Foundation will keep you updated. Thank you to everyone who has donated to help Aan.

Orangutan Awareness Week takes place every November to draw attention to the challenges faced by the critically endangered orangutan and their rainforest home. The week also encourages people to support orangutan conservation. To achieve the widest possible UK participation, the Orangutan Foundation names one day of each Orangutan Awareness Week as Orange for Orangutan Day© – a time then groups and individuals can demonstrate how much they care, by adding orange zest to everyday life.
Past ideas have included cake sales, orangutan-themed tea parties, dressing in orange, and even bathing in baked beans… so the sky really is the limit!
Join in, get others to follow your lead, raise vital funds and have some fun at the same time. The money raised will protect the habitat of the critically endangered orangutan.

Second Chance For Blind Orangutan
A blind Bornean orangutan, who was rescued from an oil-palm plantation, may have her sight restored and live in the wild again. The Orangutan Foundation have been caring for the orangutan, named Aan, since 2012 when she was found with 104 air rifle pellets in her, 37 lodged in her head. A three-hour operation removed 32 of the pellets but she was left blind which meant she couldn't be returned to the wild.
An ophthalmic surgeon, Claudia Hartley, visited Aan to assess the permanence of her blindness. On examination, the ophthalmologist discovered there is a very high chance of restoring sight to one of Aan's eyes. Claudia Hartley will return to Central Kalimantan, Indonesian Borneo, with colleagues and specialist equipment in February 2017. They will operate to remove a cataract and, if successful, Aan will be returned to the wild, despite still being blind in one eye.
Aan is currently living in a purpose-built enclosure in the Lamandau Wildlife Reserve, which is where she will also hopefully begin her transition to living wild again. The Orangutan Foundation actively protect the forests and precious wildlife within with guard posts and river patrols. This year, an extension to the Reserve was agreed by the Indonesian Government, adding an area the size of Guernsey to the protected forests. At a time when orangutans are critically endangered, due to habitat loss, this is a conservation success story.

Successful Orangutan Release
Watch footage of the Orangutan Foundation's veterinary team successfully releasing another orangutan back into the forest of the Lamandau Wildlife Reserve. Found tied up 3 weeks ago this 5 year old female is now living back in the forest, where she belongs.
Help Us To Protect Their Remaining Habitat.
The Orangutan Foundation is saddened to announce that following a recent report, IUCN have now updated the Bornean orangutan's status to CRITICALLY ENDANGERED. This is largely due to rapid habitat loss as a result of a variety of industries taking advantage of the rich resources in these areas.
The Orangutan Foundation focuses in particular on protecting forest habitat in order to give orangutans the best chance of survival in the wild. Find out more about the threats to orangutan habitat.
Now more than ever, this recent change in classification highlights the urgent need for habitat protection, as populations are predicted to decline as much as 86% by 2025 should the current rate of habitat loss continue.
With your help we can safeguard areas of orangutan habitat to ensure their long-term survival in the wild.
Application period now closed. Please e-mail for more information on upcoming volunteer programmes.
Now in its 16th year, our volunteer programme is like no other - not only will you experience essential hands-on conservation work but you will also see the endangered orangutan in its natural habitat. This year our volunteers will be taking part in a community-based project to build a new guard post in the Lamandau Wildlife Reserve!
Date: 25th July - 15th August (arrival and departure dates in/out of Pangkalan Bun)
Location: Lamandau Wildlife Reserve, Central Kalimantan, Indonesian Borneo

Increasing critical orangutan habitat by 8,000 hectares
To mark our 25th Anniversary, we are launching an ambitious challenge to secure the future of 8,000 hectares of prime, critical orangutan habitat adjacent to the Lamandau Wildlife Reserve. This area (larger than Guernsey in the Channel Islands) would increase the size of the reserve by 15 per cent, bringing the total extent of its protected habitat to 64,000 hectares.
We need your support to make a long-term commitment to the Lamandau Wildlife Reserve by planning for the next 25 years. With your help, our vital conservation work can continue into the next quarter century.
Every donation will make a difference: both to orangutans and the tropical forest habitats that they need to survive.

Orangutan Foundation's 25th Anniversary Promotional Film
As we enter the dry season in Kalimantan, Indonesia, we're taking every precaution.
Our field staff are going the extra mile to raise awareness and stop the breakout of fires in areas surrounding protected forest. Every year fire is a constant worry. Naturally occurring fires are prevalent throughout Indonesia, and the tradition of 'slash and burn' farming can also be used as a method to prepare for oil-palm plantations. In open stretches of land where the air doesn't hold as much moisture, these fires are a constant challenge to control. A fire that cannot be easily extinguished can wipe out forests that are home to thousands of species, including the endangered orangutan.
That is why the Foundation has always made fire prevention a priority. In addition to fire training for all guard post staff, our employees in the field have called for local people to stop clearing the land with fire through the implementation of signposts. These steps are especially important because dry and barren landscapes, such as those pictured below, surround the areas of forest in which we work. These patches of open land are especially susceptible to catching fire, and their vulnerability to wind only encourages fire to spread.
In our efforts to raise awareness, we at the Foundation have built warning sign-posts all along the boundaries of particularly high-risk areas (highlighted in yellow). Through these actions, we hope to keep protected areas of forest, and all of their inhabitants, safe from harm.
Please DONATE and quote 'FIRE' to help us fund new fire-fighting equipment!
Conservation organisations around the world bring incredible rainforest life straight to your home.
Kalimantan, Indonesia, 18 June 2015
On the 19 June 2015 people across the world won't need to leave the comfort of their homes to experience the amazing diversity of life found in tropical rainforests.
Conservation organisations will be using social media to share live wildlife sightings from the rainforest, using social media, as part of an exciting initiative: 'Rainforest: Live 2015'.
Now in its second year, Rainforest: Live is a project initiated by the Orangutan Tropical Peatland Project (OuTrop), a research and conservation organisation based in Indonesian Borneo. This year, 16 other tropical conservation organisations will join forces to share their experience of living and working in these beautiful and diverse habitats during this special one-day event.
OuTrop's Matt Williams explains that "so much of the media coverage of rainforests is negative, concentrating on habitat and species losses. While this is important, Rainforest: Live is designed to focus on the diversity of life in forests and the amazing species that conservationists are fighting to protect. It is to remind us all why they're worth saving."
Last year, Rainforest: Live reached several hundreds of thousands of people using the hashtag #rainforestlive on Facebook and Twitter. Sightings of species, from the endangered and iconic orangutan to the colourful and spectacular hornbill, were shared with followers.
Gavin Thurston, OuTrop Patron and wildlife filmmaker said "through my career as a wildlife cameraman I have been fortunate enough to visit and film in some splendid rainforests. It is an environment that I feel remarkably at home in and am constantly surprised and thrilled by the hidden beauty and complexity of life that has evolved to live and thrive there."
"I realise that not everyone is lucky enough to visit a rainforest in their lifetime so I am delighted that Rainforest: Live will give many people the opportunity to experience this incredible and diverse world," said Thurston. "I'm excited to see what wildlife will show up live from the rainforest."
Quinn Meyer, Founder of The crees Foundation, said "It's great to see the power of social media being able to take fragile and threatened ecosystems and bring them into daily life on a global scale in a positive light; we need to hear the good news and more often."
Helen Buckland, Director of the Sumatran Orangutan Society (SOS) says "This event allows people to join a virtual expedition to conservation field sites all over the world. We are excited to welcome people to our rainforest restoration project in Sumatra, from where we'll be sharing live sightings of wildlife that's returning to this once-barren landscape, now buzzing with life! It's an innovative way to show real conservation impact and inspire people to get behind grassroots conservation action."
Jess McKelson, a Board Member of The Orangutan Project, said "We are excited to be involved with OUTrop initiative as we can also showcase the beauty from Sumatra direct from the field. The diversity across Indonesias islands and where we are all working to learn more and also conserving the remaining habitat."
Thirza Loffeld, Education and Advocacy Coordinator for Selamatkan Yaki mentioned that "though the Indonesian island Sulawesi knows many endemic species, a large number of the local communities here are not aware of the unique wildlife that they share the island with. During Rainforest: Live, alongside other organisations, Selamatkan Yaki will take the opportunity to give the public insight in the life of Macaca nigra, locally known as yaki, from Tangkoko Nature Reserve in North Sulawesi. This beautiful reserve holds the largest connected population of this Critically Endangered primate species across its native range, in addition to many other unique species of wildlife."
To follow the event, simply click onto the Facebook or Twitter page of the participating organisations on the 19th June 2015, look out for the hashtag #rainforestlive and it will provide a window to a beautiful, but threatened, world.

Foundation Deeply Saddened by the Death of Trustee, Sir Terry Pratchett.
The Foundation trustees are deeply saddened by the death of fellow trustee, Sir Terry Pratchett. Sir Terry Pratchett was a loyal trustee of the Orangutan Foundation for 23 years, and a staunch advocate for the plight of the orangutan and its vanishing habitat.
Sir Terry's love for orangutans was apparent from his famous and playful characterization of 'The Librarian' in his Discworld book series, leading him to make two profound and inspiring films with the Orangutan Foundation.
Watch Sir Terry Pratchett's collaboration with the Foundation, 'Facing Extinction' (2013), here...
Sir Terry's legacy is to ensure a future for orangutans, forests and people.

Rocky and Okto
Rocky - once the pet of a taxi driver, enjoying rides in the taxi and meals of local 'Nasi Padang' - has made, what some people would consider, an impossible transition back to the wild.
This shows that an orangutan - even if kept as a pet for many years - can still be successfully released back into the wild.
Though Rocky now spends most of his time in the surrounding forest, when he does return to Camp, he has taken Okto (a small male in soft release) under his wing! This is rewarding as Okto now has a mentor.
Exciting start to the New Year!
Sheila gave birth to her third offspring on the 15th of December 2014. We don't yet know if it's male or female. Her nurturing instinct is obvious from just looking at the photos.
This birth is a testament to the ideal habitat she lives in, and to the conservation work that protects this area; the Lamandau Wildlife Reserve.

A welcome end to the dry season
Foundation staff have welcomed the end to the prolonged dry season, more than three months. During this time, it was very difficult to reach Camps and Guard Posts with food and logistics. In spite of the low rivers and logs blocking access, staff were still able to get supplies to the camps and guard posts, even if it sometimes took them 6 – 7 hours, rather than the normal 2 – 3. Even under these difficult conditions, the staff carried out their work with dedication and good humor.

Director Ashley visits Reintroduction Camps (Low level of Lamandau River)
On the 27th of October 2014, Director Ashley Leiman OBE was with staff, attempting to visit one of our release camps. It was difficult to get there because there has been so little rain, meaning river access took hours instead of minutes! The team got to Camp JL eventually, but we hope rain will fall soon, so all our camps are more accessible. These are just some of the logistics that comes with working in the field!
The Orangutan Foundation has been supporting the orangutan reintroduction programme in the protected Lamandau Wildlife Reserve since 2000. It is one of the few places in Indonesia where translocated and rescued orangutans can be released in the wild. A veterinary clinic has been established at Camp Gemini, one of the six orangutan release camps in the reserve.
All the orangutans that are rescued and released are treated for parasitic worm infections and are given a full health check to minimise the risk of disease transmission to the wild.

Nick was out and about again on Sunday the 21st of September – a date that will go down in history as one of the biggest marches globally, with 40,000 people attending in London and 400,000 in New York City.
Great times ahead: this November be #OuAware14
Exciting times are coming up!
Although November seems far away, time goes quickly… So when is Orangutan Awareness Week 2014?!
This year's Orangutan Awareness Week will be held 10th-16th of November, with ORANGE DAY on the 12th (the Wednesday – as always).
We are already sending schools materials and the orange costumes are getting an Autumn clean. Our ambassadors are putting up posters and we really can't wait to see everyone's efforts in 2014 to help save orangutans.
It is important to dedicate a week to raising awareness and raising funds. It is a time where all and any communities can come together and do small and big things to support the safeguarding of Indonesian Bornean habitat. All funds raised will go towards the conservation of orangutans in critical orangutan habitat. Our work prioritises conservation of standing forests and local capacity building to ensure orangutans and amazingly diverse habitat are protected into the future. See some ideas and stories of our Awareness Weeks here!
We'll be collecting all the photos of YOU, fun-loving public having a good time for orangutans, so please stay in touch – see all the fun on facebook too!
Be orange, be daring, have fun, and swing towards helping…

Victim of Ignorance
One role of the Foundation is to rescue orangutans from oil palm, villages and community land. Recently the team in Pangkalan Bun received a report of an orangutan found on local farmland. As the team, along with staff from Natural Resources Conservation Agency (BKSDA), drove to the location, they received news that the orangutan was in fact dead.
This was one of an increasing number of reports the Foundation receives of conflict between orangutans and humans, as more permits for plantations are granted and the importance of the forest for people and wildlife is overlooked.
The Foundation's rescue team works to translocate orangutans into a protected area. This is complemented by programmes to raise awareness. We educate the oil-palm companies, helping their staff understand about orangutans and explaining what to do if they see one on company land. We want stories such as this to be a thing of the past.
Support the work of the team in the field by contributing to www.justgiving.com/Protectmeandmytree
And still more orangutans to be rescued...
The Foundation is always asked 'How is the situation – facing the orangutans?'. We answer 'The Foundation is making progress', in one way by working closely with villagers and oil palm companies to mitigate human-wildlife conflict.
This strategy is working, as the Foundation is called upon to rescue stranded orangutans, rather than the individuals being harmed. Within one week in April, the Field staff were called upon to translocate four orangutans that had entered villager's farm land. One orangutan was found in a chicken farm and had eaten bananas and coconuts from the orchard on her way!
These situations must be extremely frustrating for the farmers and yet rather than injure the marauding orangutan, the local people now know that there is an alternative, and that is to call upon the Rescue Team (OF and BKSDA).
To the memory of Mark Shand...
"The passing of Mark Shand leaves a void in Asian Elephant Conservation. Mark was a valued friend and colleague. The Orangutan Foundation worked closely with Elephant Family on two very successful campaigns. We owe it to the memory of Mark Shand to continue with this work, He will be greatly missed."
Ms Ashley Leiman OBE
The Orangutans of Spring 2014
Amoi and Alex
Amoi, a female orangutan needing rehabilitation was based at and released from Camps Siswoyo in Lamandau Wildlife Reserve from July, 2003. As she's grown confidence in the wild she was often seen around Camp Gemini, not far from Camp Siswoyo. After a failed birth in 2007, we were glad to see her give birth again in May 2013 to the healthy 'Alex'. Now Alex is 10 months old – Amoi has been encouraging her to hold on to tree trunks – hopely she'll be up high with mum in the fruiting trees by summer! Amoi is a very caring mother – she even brushes of mosquitoes away using twigs and leaves.
Mantra, Max and MC
Mantra, is a female that's been with us at Camp Siswoyo since 4th July 2003, along with her son Max. Camp Gemini is popular – Mantra along with Amoi now hangout in the forest near this camp. As Max is now growing up strong and confident, enough time has passed for Mantra to give birth again to MC – a little female on May 23, 2008. Both Max and MC are healthy – brother and sister always stay together.
Ivan and Yuli
Ivan is already about 3 years old, rescued and brought to Camp Rasak in March 2013. With us for one year, he is making great progress in the soft release programme. He has made very good friends with Yuli - an orangutan of the same age, who share a protective cage over night. They need the cage at night for their own safety. They spend their days together, learning the forest skills needed for a life in the wild, finding food, building nests and improving their climbing skills.
Presentation of past and future to the Anglo Indonesian Society
The Orangutan Foundation is always trying to reach out to new people who may be interested in the conservation of orangutans and their habitat… Charles Humfrey, previous Ambassador of the United Kingdom for Indonesia, invited the Foundation to present to the Anglo Indonesian society, with an aim to focus on our achievements and challenges yet to come… Here we report back on our 'Past achievements and future challenges' presentation…
On the 25th of February 2014, Ashley Leiman presented 'Orangutan Foundation's past achievements and future challenges' to the Anglo Indonesian society, hosted by the Indonesian Embassy in Grosvenor square, London.
After the many members had received their first opportunity to catch up, eat, drink and view the stunning sculptural collection, members sat quietly in anticipation of Ashley's presentation about the Foundation. Starting with the Foundation's misson, Ashley highlighted the areas in which the Foundation work – both the locations and secondly, on the projects on which we focus - where we send 75% of the Foundation's funds.Our work with co-operation and partnership with local stakeholders and other related international organisations (including our partner project Yayorin, and local government conservation authorities, local communities, industrial sector companies, other local and international NGO's) allows a level of communication and collaboration that is invaluable to our main aim; protecting the tropical forest habitat.
As we work toward protection and conservation of critical orangutan habitats , we are proud to be able to conduct a variety of related programmes in parallel. These you may know from our website. Ashley was able to summarise with the following… "I have just returned from Indonesia, where I have seen the difference and progress we are making in all aspects of our work. We are committed to ensuring this will continue into the future: So we can realise our vision in which mankind can live alongside nature. Thank you all for listening to our story."
Happy New Year from the Orangutan Foundation!
Our work on the ground is progressing and we are positive looking forward as we start 2014. We are proud of our following achievements from 2013 ...
- Translocated and rescued 10 orangutans in 2013. All these individuals came from either oil palm plantations or local villages.
- Ongoing reintroduction programme which supports six release camps in the Lamandau Wildlife Reserve.
- Six female orangutans gave birth to new offspring, joining five youngsters who are seen regularly and are being well looked after by their mothers. The fact that the ex-captives are giving birth is a sign that the released orangutans not only survive in the wild but are able to reproduce.
- Importantly, we held a workshop on human-orangutan conflict mitigation, where 21 oil palm companies committed to a communication forum and signed up to protect orangutans in concession areas. It is positive that oil palm companies have held their own workshops and that the Foundation was asked to give several presentations.
- Continuing conservation through community education and outreach with our partner Yayorin.
- Recent research conducting from Pondok Ambung included a survey of fish biodiversity in the Sekonyer River, mating habits of the proboscis monkeys, butterfly biodiversity.
- Ongoing protection of Tanjung Puting National Park and the Lamandau Wildlife Reserve through the manning of six guard posts.
After six months working with us, our new Project and Development Coordinator quotes her impression of the Foundation ...
"After many years of the Foundation working from the UK and in Borneo, the team show continuous, determined commitment to make a difference to each orangutan, whilst looking and working towards a forest-safe future."
None of this could have happened without your continued support, for which we are grateful.
Exciting news as six babies born to reintroduced orangutans in six months
The most exciting news is that in the past six months six babies have been born to reintroduced orangutans. One of them is Amoy, released ten years ago in Lamadau River Wildlife Reserve. She appeared in June at Camp Gemini with her two-week-old infant, named Alexi by field staff. Badut, another ex-captive, was seen on 24 August carrying an infant, recently named BB, and was followed by staff to make sure all was well. Then at Camp Buluh, a wild female orangutan was also seen carrying a baby. She didn't like being close to humans and so was only followed for two days. We hope for long and healthy lives for these babies.
Those born to the ex-captives are a sign that released orangutans are able not only to survive in the wild but to able to reproduce. Most of their long childhood is spent without playmates of the same age. An infant clambers around on mother for the first few years, and she might play a little, but apart from an occasional encounter with another mother, for example at a heavily laden fruit tree, young orangutans simply don't have the opportunity to play with friends of the same age.
Individuals from injured and homeless to healthy and free in the wild!
First images of newborn orangutans in the Lamandau Wildlife Reserve, Borneo
Dr Wawan, our vet, has taken some fantastic photos of two female orangutans with their newborn babies, in the Lamandau Wildlife Reserve, an orangutan release site, in Central Kalimantan, Indonesian Borneo.
Dr Wawan reports "Her infant was sleeping on her neck when we visited Camp Gemini Release Site at the beginning of June. Field staff told us its just two weeks old and is female (is called Alex just in case!). The baby could barely lift its head it was so young. "
Read Wawan's story and see more images on our blog.
Mitigation of Human-Orangutan Conflicts in Central Kalimantan, Indonesian Borneo
"One hundred invitations were sent out for the workshop Mitigation of Human-Orangutan Conflicts in Central Kalimantan, Indonesian Borneo. The conference room was booked for a capacity of 80, we didn't want the room to look empty in case there were a number of 'no shows'. I watched as the room began to fill, more chairs had to be brought in, numbers were now up to 90, a good start already. There was a stir of anticipation, as everyone took their seats."
Reducing human - orangutan conflicts
A workshop, aimed at reducing human-orangutan conflicts, was held at the beginning of this week and brought together oil-palm plantations, the Indonesia Palm Oil Association, regional government and NGOs. It was the first of a series of workshops, which aims to provide practical solutions to orangutan-human conflict.
One of the key aims is to encourage land-users to take on more responsibility for setting aside protected areas for conservation, buffer zones and habitat corridors – areas that reconnect isolated remnants of the forest back to the main body of forest.
Our partners in the project are Yayorin (the Indonesian Orangutan Foundation) and BKSDA-Kalteng (the Bureau for the Conservation of Natural Resources in Central Kalimantan) and we are extremely grateful to The Rufford Foundation for their support.

More Orangutans Rescued From Oil Palm Plantations
As oil-palm plantations encroach upon more and more orangutan habitat, this endangered great ape's struggle to exist will only get harder. The Orangutan Foundation continues to rescue wild orangutans, many of them young (their mothers probably killed) from oil palm plantations.
Last month we rescued a young orangutan, who we named Melan, from a plantation, she had a large wound to her head, which we are still treating (find out more and watch a video clip on our blog).
A few weeks later another young wild orangutan, named Jupe, this time in good health, was rescued, given a veterinary check and then trans-located to the Lamandau Wildlife Reserve, Indonesian Borneo.
We also know of another two orangutans, who have been seen in an oil palm plantation, eating the oil-palm fruit. That the apes should resort to eating it is almost certainly a sign of a shortage of wild fruit, which in turn is a sign of loss of habitat due to encroachment by oil-palm plantations. Our rescue team will continue to search for the orangutans and hopefully move them to the Lamandau Wildlife Reserve - prime orangutan habitat, which we are safeguarding with guard posts and patrols.

The Body Shop Foundation Goes Ape at the Plight of Orangutans
- Details
- Published on Tuesday, 02 April 2013
The Body Shop Foundation has teamed up with Charity Challenge for a Sumatra Jungle Trek to raise funds for The Orangutan Foundation.
This month, 24 volunteers from The Body Shop and its extended family from Sweden to Asia, from The Body Shop at Home Consultants to employees working at the Head Office at Littlehampton, will come together on a quest to change lives and fight for the survival of the Sumatran orangutans.
"Its time to step up again" says Lisa Jackson, CEO of The Body Shop Foundation. "After the success of our Sahara Trek, where we raised an incredible £42,000 for WaterAid, when we heard about the plight of the orangutans we knew it was time to act again. We have an incredible network of activists – all prepared to walk their talk and raise money for the Orangutan Foundation. This challenge will see them all face their fears – from leeches, steep inclines, spiders and negotiating deep rainforest terrain, with all our challengers prepared to overcome hostile conditions to raise awareness about the survival of this magnificent great ape species."
Joanne Laker, Fundraising Manager, is heading up the challenge "We've been bowled over by the enthusiasm and determination from our challengers. They are already coming up with incredible innovative fundraising ideas to support this, so we'd encourage everyone to get involved locally with their fundraising endeavours, knowing that you too can play your part to save this very special species of great ape."
From Friday 5 April to Sunday 21 April, two groups of passionate volunteers will trek through hostile jungle terrain, covering over 35kms in intense conditions.
To follow their incredible journey, please visit their Facebook page here during the challenge times.

American 166 Tile Mahjong Set in Rosewood Box with Bird Decoration
Brand: Yellow Mountain Imports
When mahjong first caught on in America in the 1920s, the elegant sets imported from Shanghai looked like this: finely polished cases made from elm and rosewood and hand painted tiles made from cattle bone and bamboo.
This set is a reproduction of those classic sets, crafted by hand from snow white cattle bone and delicate slabs of native Chinese bamboo. The cover is inlaid with a bone design of birds and flowers.
Please note that this is a hand made mahjong set made with natural materials using traditional methods. Each tile is cut and carved one piece a time, and the characters are inked by hand. Hand cut bone and bamboo tiles are slightly smaller than fiberglass mahjong tiles, and coloring and shape varies slightly from tile to tile and set to set.
- Contains 36 Circles, 36 Bamboos, 36 Characters, 12 Dragons (red, a yellow, and white), 16 Winds (N, S, E, W), 8 Flowers, 8 Seasons, 10 joker tiles, and four spares.
- Includes four racks, a pair of dice, a set of betting sticks, and four wind tiles for determining seating placement.
- The case measures 13-1/8L x 7-5/8''W x 3-1/8''H (33.3cm x 19.2cm x 8cm)
- Tiles measure 1-1/8''L x 13/16''W x 1/2''H (3cm x 2.1cm x 1.3cm)
- This is an American mahjong set. It includes all the pieces necessary for both the Chinese and American version of the game, including joker tiles and racks. An instruction manual in English is included.

Earlier today I was reading Bryan Appleyard's always-interesting blog, and I came across this:
There is a future danger that America may lose its distinct identity and become just another nation that believes nothing, though I don't think Obama embodies this danger. Relative decline may turn out to be the real culprit. It will be a sad day when - if - it happens.
Appleyard makes this point by way of contrast with his native Britain, where the Prime Minister never speaks with "a certain high solemnity and grandiloquence when addressing national issues," a country that no longer has a "destiny-laden sense of self."
It's indisputably true that America has a (to put it mildly) confident image of itself, and the most fervent of our nationalists make a fetish of outright America-worship. The US has always had a messianic self-image, and it's only inflated in the last few decades due to our economic and military pre-eminence. It does offer quite a contrast to post-imperial Britain, the culture of which has been marked by a sense of diminishment and depression ever since the end of the Empire in 1945. Britain's lack of self-belief permeates, probably excessively, quite a lot of the culture it's produced in the postwar period: Appleyard himself has written a great attack on Philip Larkin, a talented but imaginatively provincial poet that Appleyard thinks was grossly monumentalized to suit Britain's morose self-image. I tend to agree with this assessment, by the way. The best poets of Britain's post-imperial phase have, so far, kept faith with the best of British artistic traditions (the long march of English poetry, the painting of Constable and Turner, the visionary element in Blake, the Brontes, and Dickens) while cultivating an outward-looking, expansive aesthetic and attitude the polar opposite of Larkin and co.'s petty insularity. Examples: Charles Tomlinson, Geoffrey Hill, Ted Hughes, Kathleen Raine, Hugh MaDiarmid, Edwin Muir, Lawrence Durrell...
It's strange, though, that Brits and others associate the loss of empire with a loss of confidence and vision. This has been the case with Britian (though periods of cultural effervescence like the 60s contradict this self-image, and it's more or less fallen apart lately in the more open and cosmopolitan years under New Labour), but it hasn't been the case with every country that's lost its empire.
Spain, for instance. After a couple of centuries of relative cultural stagnation, the final blow to their empire in 1898 (delivered, of course, by the United States in its inauguration of its own empire) coincided with an explosion of great poets, painters, essayists, novelists, and film-makers that lasted up until Franco closed the lid in the late 1930s. There is even a group of poets, essayists, and novelists known as the Generation of '98; it includes classics like Antonio Machado, José Ortega y Gasset, and Miguel de Unamuno.
They were followed by the talented of the first Spanish generation to grow up without an empire: Pablo Picasso, Federico Garcia Lorca (born in 1898), Luis Cernuda, Juan Ramon Jimenez, Rafael Alberti, Luis Buñuel, Salvador Dalí, and many others.
This level of greatness shouldn't be cause for national self-flagellation along the lines of postwar/post-imperial Britain. No one knows how America will respond when its empire dissolves, with a Spanish-style explosion of creativity or with British mortification. At least history shows us that a total breakdown in cultural confidence isn't inevitable. This is especially heartening to someone like me, who opposes America's ruinous and criminal imperial projects but worries about a possible loss of creative power in American culture.
Not that empire = cultural confidence. The migration of the collective creative impulse is a mysterious thing; who would have thought that tortured, powerless, downtrodden Poland--stuck between two murderous totalitarian systems--would produce many of the best writers of the 20th century?
Even the colossal stagnation that occurred on the Italian peninsula after the fall of the Roman Empire was pretty much made up for--very much so--a thousand years later by the imaginative genius and visionary hope of the Renaissance. I look forward to America's disintegration into dozens of distinct city-states...

I had the so called "Kobe" beef burger Real Kobe beef is over $100 a pound and it's use in US restaurants is rare. The menu should say US wagyu beef, which I'll admit isn't as sexy but it's more accurate. The burger was OK, nothing exciting. Still searching for the perfect burger in New Orleans, Read my blog on tumblr, petercallahansblog, Happy Hamburger Tuesday.
A gargoyle is a water spout, a grotesque is a decorative figure on a building. In this case, definitely a grotesque.
This is a ridiculous exercise in appearing to be sympathetic but really just showing off. "Look at me, I'm drinking champagne out of a paper cup in a slum!". This does nothing for the affected area or the inhabitants, it's just an excuse for gouging money from people who are more concerned with being "hip" than having any real concept of enjoying food.
Thank you for bringing this feature back, I've missed it.

December 29, 2010, The Philippine Star
MANILA, Philippines (Xinhua) The Philippine government is working on some of the gains that they secured from the recent U.N. climate talks in Mexico.
According to Lucille Sering, Climate Change Commission vice chairperson and head of the Philippine climate delegation, one of the first tasks of the commission after their return from Mexico is to push for a bill now pending in Congress to create the Peoples Survival Fund (PSF).
The People's Survival Fund will serve as a repository of all future and present climate-related overseas and domestic financing.
The PSF "has enough safeguards, a fund that can be easily access and with less conditionalities," Sering said in an interview with Xinhua.
After two weeks of intense discussions, delegates from over 190 countries finally signed on Dec. 11 the Cancun Agreements.
The Cancun text, among other things, paved the creation a Green Climate Fund that will help developing countries adapt to the impact of a warmer planet like sea rise, stronger typhoons and drought.
The Philippines, by virtue of its geography, is prone to natural disasters. It is located in both the typhoon belt and the Pacific Ring of Fire.
In 2009, for instance, typhoons Ketsana and Parma swept Metro Manila and most provinces in northern Philippines. The World Bank estimates that the damages caused by these back to back typhoons totaled 4.38 billion U.S. dollars or equivalent to 2.7 percent of the Philippine Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
Sering said this is why the Philippine negotiators worked round- the-clock to push for the creation of a global climate fund.
The Fund will be managed by board made up of representatives from both developed and developing countries. The European Union, Japan and the United States were among the wealthy countries that pledged to extend 30 billion U.S. dollars until 2012 and to increase it to 100 billion U.S. dollars a year starting 2020.
But like most provisions of the Cancun text, there are several details that need to be worked out before a Global Climate Fund can be put into place.
It's still unclear as to how and where would the developed countries source the money for the fund.
"There is a point to be made about ensuring we do not have an ' empty Fund'," she said.
Aside from putting
up a global climate fund, the Cancun Agreements formed a new mechanisms for transfer of clean energy technology, provides compensation for the forest preservation and strengthens the emissions reductions pledges of industrialized countries.
But the Cancun Agreements didn't produce a legally-binding commitment that will succeed the Kyoto Protocol (KP).

The ladies of The View this week explored the idea of whether Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and his campaign are somehow to blame for starting the chain of events that resulted in a 19-year-old man wanting to assassinate Trump in Las Vegas on Saturday.
Authorities on Monday disclosed that a British citizen, Michael Steven Sandford, was arrested during a Las Vegas rally after trying to take a police officer's gun, telling authorities he wanted to shoot Trump.
Discussion of the assassination attempt began with Whoopi Goldberg calling the incident "a very terrifying moment."
Advertisement - story continues below
"As a nation we can disagree with each other all that we want," she said. "The idea of taking somebody out because they disagree with you is not an American concept. Not rational. Not smart. It's a horrifying thing … terrible thing to do."
"You can scream at him that you don't like his politics, but you've got no right — no right to try to take him out," she continued.

Joy Behar noted that the would-be assassin was not a Mexican or a Muslim, both populations she said Trump has criticized, but was, rather "a white guy from England."
"Just saying," she added.

Paula Faris then echoed Goldberg's insistence that violence has no place in campaigns.
"Let's all agree to disagree without being disagreeable," she said.
But Sunny Hostin had a different thought in mind about who was responsible for the violent outburst.
"With the Trump campaign and all that campaign rhetoric about inciting violence," she began, noting how Trump once vow to "punch a guy out" who was protesting at a Trump rally, "it makes me wonder whether that campaign, the violence of it and all, that rhetoric, is going to bring more people out of the woodwork."

Finally, Behar had the last word, recalling what she said was advice she was given: "Don't spit up in the air, it comes back in your face."

Two veterans let Bills' chances slip away
TORONTO — Stevie Johnson is among the most emotional athletes you'll find in professional sports, which is one reason he's such a fascinating figure. The media is drawn to him because they know he'll serve up the raw, unfiltered truth, or at least his version, regardless of the outcome.
There was no predicting how he would react after the loss Sunday, after he and Scott Chandler took turns fumbling away the winning points if not their playoff hopes. Johnson is the same guy, if you remember, who wondered a few years ago if God had something against him after he dropped a critical pass in a loss against Pittsburgh.
You know Stevie by now.
Doug Marrone last week found it necessary to sit him down for a good talk and keep the lines of communication open. The last thing they needed was Stevie going Stevie and becoming a distraction during a critical part of the season. Nobody would have been surprised if Mount Stevie erupted Sunday after the 34-31 overtime loss to the Falcons.
Instead, he was calm and matter of fact. He didn't raise his voice. He didn't question the man above. Yes, he was disappointed knowing he played a role in the loss. Yes, it was yet another frustrating defeat. But he's also had some practice in explaining away losses over the past six years and kept his composure afterward.
He wasn't deflecting blame so much as praising the other team. He credited Robert McClain for making a great play when he punched the ball loose late in the fourth quarter of a tie game with the Bills moving into field goal position.
"I knew we damned near had the game sealed with that. He came from behind and made a hell of a play," Johnson said. "I don't like what I'm about to say, but we've been here before. It's not going to stick with us. It's over with."
Let's sift through the carnage.
The Bills were about a foot from a first down when EJ Manuel found Johnson with a perfect pass on a crossing pattern in the final 30 seconds. Johnson made the catch at the 30-yard line and raced toward the sideline. McClain came from behind, poked the ball loose and kept Bills kicker Dan Carpenter safely on the sideline.
Chandler's fumble might have been worse because he had reminded himself after Johnson fumbled that he needed to tuck away the ball if he caught another pass. Apparently, he didn't listen to himself. The second verse was the same as the first.
The big tight end caught a pass from Manuel over the middle in overtime and was headed for midfield. If he completes that play and the Bills finish a couple more, they have a chance to win. Instead, along came Robert Alford, who knocked the ball loose and gave the Falcons possession. Moments later, Matt Bryant kicked the winner in OT.
"It was a great throw by EJ, right out in front," Chandler said. "As I put the ball away, I didn't get my hand underneath good enough and the guy just knocked it loose. It's really disappointing. Obviously, you want to protect the ball in that situation. You want to make a play that will help your team win, not the play that turns the tide and makes you lose."
Johnson and Chandler should have been the least of the Bills' problems. They're veterans. Both have been in the NFL long enough to know the importance of ball security, especially in critical moments. Their reliability was one reason the Bills were throwing in their direction in the first place.
If either takes care of the ball, the Bills would have been in position to improve to 5-7 with their playoff hopes very much intact going into Tampa Bay next week. Instead, they rode down Queen Elizabeth Way with another chapter in their long history of blowing games. The loss all but eliminated them from the playoffs.
"It's got to be the most frustrating one of the year," Fred Jackson said. "You can tell by the way the guys are in the locker room. We gave it away. We didn't lose that game. We gave it to them. We knew this was a game we had to have. That's why it stings so much. It was in our grasp, and we let it slip away."
You can look back at the two lost fumbles making the difference, and they did, but the Bills found numerous ways to lose Sunday. They had a 14-0 lead over one of the worst teams in the NFL and let the Falcons back into the game. Atlanta scored 17 straight points and outscored the Bills, 24-3, during one stretch.
C.J. Spiller had 149 yards rushing on 15 carries, including a 77-yard run to get the Bills' offense in gear and a 36-yard touchdown that gave them a 31-24 lead. Jackson scored two touchdowns. The Bills had a lead in the final two minutes. They did what 4-8 teams do. They found a way to lose.
The two fumbles obviously didn't help their cause. But their defense had two major breakdowns, allowing two touchdown runs off left tackle. They had a pass-interference penalty on Nickell Robey in the end zone, which allowed Atlanta to tie the game with 1:28 remaining in the fourth quarter.
Manuel completed 18 of 32 passes for 210 yards, which is what the Bills have come to expect from their rookie quarterback. He was composed late in the game and overtime. They asked him to make a few plays, and he answered. He put the ball into the hands of two veterans. Twice, they lost the ball.
Ultimately, they lost the game.
"It hurts," Chandler said. "We want to bring this town, this region, to the playoffs. To know that kind of slipped away on that play is tough. That's what we do. We're putting ourselves out there. If you want to be a guy who is making plays for your team, you have to deal with the disappointment when you don't make the play."

Mustard Seed closes after 30 years in business
Thu, 29 May 2014 13:23:40 GMT —
The Mustard Seed in Quincy is closing its doors after 30 years of business.
An actual mustard seed is very small, but despite its name, this local business has had a big impact.
"People are shocked a lot of people are sad, I've heard tears even, one person talked about that," Jay Lawler said.
Jay Lawler is one of the co-owners of the Christian bookstore.
"The basic reason is because of sales, don't have the sales we can't provide the service and the products that the customers are accustomed to having," Lawler explained.
Lawler also says book and music sales are down because of new technology.
"Its main reason is because of the different channels people are now buying through," Lawler said.
Digital downloads and home delivery are some of the most popular ways people get products today - something Lawler says they can't compete with.
"I just know that it's nice to know that it was always here when I would come to Quincy, because it's a two hour drive and its great that we have online shopping but sometimes its nice to be able to physically come, see, and pick up and this was always an option for that," Wendy LaFavor, a resident of Kirksville said.
Lawler doesn't know what will happen next, but he has faith.
"Unwavering, its disappointing this avenue is closing, when God closes a door he opens a window and I'm going to believe in that," Lawler added.
Lawler says the store's tentative closing date is mid-July.
Along with the Mustard Seed's plans to close this summer, TGI Fridays and Poppe's Religious Store closed earlier this week.
All three businesses cite bad economic conditions.
KHQA spoke with the Quincy Chamber of Commerce about what impact closings can have.
"Well you know Quincy is very blessed, with a wide variety of companies, large and small, home owned, national franchises, that wide variety of companies keeps our local economy pretty stable actually," Amy Looten said.
Looten says if one of the area's largest employers were to leave the area, then Quincy's economy would see a noticeable difference.

Some suspicious travelers have a growing theory that ratings can be engineered to make some properties look way better than they are by playing the ratings game. I occasionally count myself in that camp. Hotel Kniza dispels that notion as it is the real deal deserving of their lofty ratings ie a very nice property with world class service. It should be the choice when in Marrakech medina. First off, they include driver pick up on your arrival and an orientation walking tour with an English speaking guide. For the uninitiated into crazy (and crazy fun) Marrakech, this is great as it immediately makes your trip more settling. Secondly, the property is really nice with well appointed suites, a roof top terrace and a courtyard pool. But it is the service that sets it apart. Ex: show up at 7:30am where not only were our rooms ready but they serve an excellent breakfast on the spot Ex: my daughter misplaces purse somewhere in property…no problem as an all hands on deck entourage turns it up in our kids rooms hiding under an overturned blanket. Ex: wife breaks sandal walking on the cobble streets…no problem as a bell hop takes it to a local cobbler where it is fixed within 30 minutes (and refused to take payment, much less a tip). Go here as they don't make them like this anymore.

Sometimes the ringing is so bad I feel myself screaming but still can't wake up, and when I do wake up my wife has not heard any noise from me? Are these seizures of some kind?

Teen's video snags surprise locker thief suspect
Her senior year was just a month old at Newfield High School in Selden when Tiana Rapp, 17, opened her gym locker and discovered someone had pilfered a whopping $150 from it.
Police have arrested a hall monitor, Linda Cubano, and charged her with three counts of petty larceny in connection with the thefts.
Rapp said she had reported the missing money to school officials, who suspected a student was responsible. But something didn't add up, she said, because the girls' lockers were patrolled by an adult hall monitor.
The criminal struck again a couple of weeks later: That time, Rapp was left $40 poorer.
"They said there was nothing they could do and they were convinced that a student was doing it," said Rapp, a fan of the crime-fighting television series "CSI," and an aspiring forensic scientist who has already aced the SAT and her Advanced Placement psychology class.
Middle Country school district officials released a statement Thursday night declining to comment on the case, but they did acknowledge that they had accepted Cubano's resignation.
Initially, Rapp didn't buy the adults' explanation of the thefts, but she did know that her losses had begun to add up.
That's when Rapp and a friend with whom she shared a locker, a girl who also lost $20 in the second theft, devised a plan to catch the thief.
On Monday, the teen sleuths set up a video camera inside a locker, propped it up just so and trained it on the locker containing their belongings.
Sure enough, Rapp said, 12 minutes into the video, it appears that the hall monitor walks by the locker containing Rapp's silver handbag, opens the locker with a master key and begins rifling through it.
"She was rummaging through everything," Rapp said.
The girls showed the video to school officials and a Suffolk County police detective - who later showed the footage to Cubano, 54, of Selden.
On Tuesday, Cubano was charged with three counts of petty larceny after she admitted swiping students' belongings, police said. She was issued a desk ticket. Cubano could not be reached for comment.
Rapp hasn't gotten her money back, but she said she's happy she snagged a suspect on the first try.
"I knew there was no way a kid was breaking into the locker without anyone noticing," Rapp said. She added that she's been thanked by several other students whose belongings vanished from their lockers.
Tiana's mother, Kelly Rapp, said her daughter served on a school safety committee last year and that she had raised the issue of having items stolen from her locker at that time.
"I think it's great," Kelly Rapp said of her daughter's investigative work.
"Because someone had to do something, otherwise it would just continue. I'm very proud of them for doing what they did."
