Donations to help can be made to PanEco.ch choosing flood disaster.
All the people in these photos are my friends and people my family lived beside during my work with #orangutans.
They have lost everything and I am doing all I can to raise awareness and funds for them.
Every bit helps

The orangutan communities and forest-edge villages that welcomed me for decades are now facing devastating floods and landslides.

Culture is critical in driving orangutan diet development past individual potentials - Nature Human Behaviour
Howard-Spink et al. develop an empirically based model of orangutan diet development, which suggests that social learning is vital for orangutans to acquire varied diets.
