Three Years 'til Death

There is a very big danger about. Orangutans in Borneo are the victims. And this is why.

Within three years, the largest population of wild orangutans might not be on Borneo anymore. Within three years, they could all be dead.

2011 could see the end. And it's our fault.

As much as I hate to say it, we are doing this. Palm oil is a very big trade, and it comes at a very big price. The price of the rainforest.

Orangutans are endangered anyway, but this just adds to it. There are only 20,000 left in Borneo, a decline from 31,000 in 2004. It is vital that they survive.

If the government there doesn't do anything to stop this terror, the mammals will become homeless and starve to death. If they do find food, it will be the palm oil seeds, which means farmers will be poaching them.

These orangutans are entering their darkest days.

This story makes me extremely upset and extremely angry. I hope something helps them to survive.

Please comment. Thank you.
