Philomena D.

It’s always in the wee hours of the day that I recall times way back when. It’s 6 AM and this old lady has not slept. The house was up for sahur and so I couldn’t go back to sleep. It’s so quiet here, you know? Crickets everywhere. And by 6 AM the birds sing.

We had only recently interacted here on X. Rest in power, the last of the Trimates/Leakey’s Angels 🤍🤍🤍 @DrBirute

‘i’m not really into politics’

Read privately. Read publicly. Read perfomatively. Read however you like. Who cares! We have a literacy crisis people!

sebenernya ya gaes, bukan masalah kebun sawitnya doang, tapi ini tentang homogenitas sebuah ekosistem. jadi kalo sawit nanti diganti jadi kebon kelapa (misal), ya tetep aja bawa banjir longsor dll. karena pada dasarnya, wilayah kita butuhnya hutan hujan #AkuWahabiLingkungan 🙏

How to destroy swampy melaleuca forest in Papua.

💔Borneo Critical Orangutan habitat bulldozed by PT Equator Sumber Rezeki (ESR) who has already cleared nearly 1,500 hectares (3,700 hectares) of rainforest inside this region that’s designated a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and orangutan habitat news.mongabay.com/2025/12/indige…

@DrBirute The consequence of logging and the palm oil industry, which many of us have been vocal about for years, and now we see how dire those consequences are. I am so happy to see your work in Kalimantan continue and I hope it is protected from the kind of harm done in Sumatra!

@PhilCatDev Tragic Sumatra event. Mudslides in mountainous areas where deforestation occurs seem so much more severe than in Kalimantan swamps where we work. Deforestation everywhere has severe&dangerous consequences &needs to be stopped. I weep&pray for the innocent #orangutans of Tapanuli

If we had listened to @DrBirute this would not happen. How sad for all, the people and the wildlife of Sumatra.

I don’t think yall understand the gravity of what you’re looking at in this picture. This should infuriate every single one of us.

I said it before & have been saying it for years: “Trees are our lifeline to the future.” OFI & I have planted 100s of 1,000s of native trees in Central Kalimantan (#Borneo)to restore #orangutan habitat & mitigate climate change.Ultimately,people need trees as much as orangutans!

Adult male #orangutan Marco is not afraid of water. I have seen wild #orangutans up to the neck in river edge swamps!

Semua sudah terjadi.
