Orangutan Rescue: Indonesia Wild Fires
 Close-up of a baby orangutan in the arms of a "babysitter" in BOSF's Nyeru Menteng Center. Shot on Nov. 5, 2006. See more photos. |
IFAW Emergency Relief worker Jennifer Miller is currently in Borneo supporting the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation (BOS) and their local team of rescuers. BOS and IFAW are working together to assist with animal rescue operations in response to man-made forest fires that have escalated to a disaster level on both Borneo and Sumatra islands. The fires are threatening the livelihood of neighboring farms as well as the lives of many endangered species that inhabit the dense jungles, including the endangered orangutan. When time and technology permit, Jennifer is posting updates here on the animal rescue blog.

The Animals in Haiti Need Your Support We urgently need your donation to help IFAW's emergency relief teams on the ground in Haiti. Your donation will help us buy the bandages, vaccines, antibiotics and other supplies for our mobile veterinary clinic.
We have partnered with WSPA to mount a coordinated animal relief response, and our team has deployed into the devastated country.
Your donation will go directly into IFAW's Emergency Relief fund, and will be used immediately and where needed most to help the animal victims of Haiti and our Emergency Relief work around the world.
I blogged about you guys today. I hope you like it and don't mind me using one of your orangutan photos.
