The Orangutan Project.

In this episode, I interview Leif Cocks the founder of The Orangutan Project. Leif has worked with and campaigned for orangutans for almost 30 years. Leif’s years in the field have earned him respect within the conservation field. He has been a key player in developing conservation plans for orangutans and influencing positive change for orangutan protection and survival.  The Orangutan Project: collaborates with several orangutan conservation projects, as well as providing habitat protection and land acquisition through its own programs to deter wildlife poaching, illegal logging, and land clearing in Indonesia. We talk about: Why Orangutan's habitat is being destroyed Why economically it is bad for local communities What consumers can do to shop smarter to protect Orangutang habitat I hope you enjoy listening.
