Photographs taken in The Tanjung Puting National Park, Borneo. To get to this area you have to travel by klotok (river boat). I was incredibly fortunate to visit 3 feeding sites, including the famous Camp Leakey. I was also honored to meet Dr. Biruté Mary Galdikas and visit the Orangutan Care Center. Sadly extensive deforestation of the Borneo rainforest is severely affecting the continued survival of these truly magnificent primates.

Dr. Galdikas started her study of orangutans back in the 1970's at Camp Leakey and is the world’s foremost authority on the orangutan. For more information about Orangutans and her work, please visit http://www.orangutan.org/
