SocraticGadfly: New orang population in Borneo

New orang population in Borneo

Scientists now estimate that East Kalimantan province may have 5,000 orangutans.

Obviously, this is a huge improvement in orangutan numbers, if it pans out.

But, let this not be an excuse for the government of Indonesia, and governments and individuals in the outside, to relax vigilance on logging in Borneo. That’s you we’re talking about, Beijing.
