Crown Princess Victoria adopted orangutans
Today Crown Princess Victoria received representatives from the organisation Borneo Urangutan Survival Sweden (BOS) to accept the adoption of an urangutan and at the same time give highlight to the urgent need to save the rainforest, the natural habitat of unique animals like the urangutans.
Also the climate changes have readical effects on the biodiversity of these areas and as a result many species are disappearing. Another threat is the massive shoveling of the rainforests as a result of companies wanting to get to the palm oil, in our day when many see news kinds of fuels as a positive thing not all are aware of the palm oil diesel that is produced on the expense of the nature.
Victoria's urangutan, Kesi, was rescued at the age of five months when her mother had been killed by poachers, leaving the little one all on its own trying to escape and ending up loosing one hand.
— A great variety of species is disappearing forever as a result of the extreme ravaging of the tropical rainforest. The orangutan is only the tip of the iceberg but many species have already been lost and thousands of others will be lost unless this negative trend is stopped, says National Geographic attached photographer Mattias Klum.
