Aerial rescue for orangutans

[Arctostaphylos uva-ursi]

I feel cheated. I watched the whole thing and not one orang-utan in sight.

Did you get to see any in the wild?

Likewise. Just a lot of surfing and roaming around. Didn't end up getting to Sumatra but definitely looking forward to being there at some point

 

The Orangutan/Sawpod vests look good, do you know if they will be available over here?

 

Keep up the good work.

 

I could do some of the Sawpod vests if people are interested!! drop us an email [email protected]

Thanks everyone for all the great feedback! I had a feeling a few people would feel cheated about the lack of close up orang-utan. We saw one mother and baby orang-utan in the wild whilst we were there. You can see the moment in the video but unfortunately the gopro has no zoom and it was a long way away. Tony got a couple of pics on his phone but the quality was pretty bad. Either way it was an incredible moment that made the trip for us! If you head to SOS – Sumatran Orangutan Society there's loads of pics and info on recent rescues and projects with the orangs!
