Reposted from @liberiachimprescueprotection International Indonesian Primate Day. Orangutans are truly on the brink of extinction. Groups like @orangutan_foundation_intl are working hard for decades to fight the devastating commercial industries that seem bent on destroying this magnificent cousin of ours. We CAN save them by paying close attention to what we buy and don’t buy - we have the power to reduce demand through boycotts and changes in our own consumption! #knowledgeispower #actnow #togetherwecan #indonesianprimateday https://www.instagram.com/p/CKrTlVChkWc/?igshid=17i8hi6zioze3

Translated to English from Indonesian Indonesia is home to 11 primate genera with a total of 61 species found from Sabang to Merauke. This number is 25% of the total primate species in the world. On the island of Borneo alone, there are 7 primate genera consisting of 13 species. Almost all primates in Indonesia, especially in Kalimantan, face various threats of extinction: - deforestation and forest fragmentation - poaching that ends in the primate trade as an exotic pet and for consumption - transmission of disease (zoonosis) - climate change - forest and land fires. Indonesia is also known as one of the top countries with the most productive levels of primate trade. Surveys conducted by Facebook and Instagram in 2015 to 2018 indicate that the trade of gibbons (especially those who are very young or infants) continues to increase and is increasingly becoming a major threat to their survival Today is #IndonesianPrimateDay. Let us #StopPrimatePetTrade and protect all Indonesian primates from various threats. Let them live freely in the wild.
