THE RED APE DEBATE – THE FUTURE FOR THE ORANG-UTAN |
| November 27, 2009 - November 27, 2009 |
| Location: | The Ondaatje Theatre, Royal Geographical Society, London |
| Sponsor: | World Land Trust |
| Focus: | “The Red Ape Debate – The Future for the Orang-utan” is a follow up event to April’s highly successful Great Ape Debate (see http://www.worldlandtrust.org/videos/great-ape-debate.htm for more information). Experts from around the world will come together to discuss some of the key issues involved in both the conservation of wild orang-utans and the rehabilitation and release of captive orang-utans.
Orang-utan numbers have plummeted over recent years, mainly as a result of the spread of plantation monocultures. The destruction of huge areas of Orang-utan habitat is now driving the species to extinction. Urgent decisions need to be made: How best to ensure the survival of this, the “person of the forest”? Experts are divided in their opinions and this discussion will integrate their views and open the debate to the floor. |
