Orangutan Outreach and our partner, the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation (BOSF), are happy to give our supporters this behind the scenes look at the precious babies. Many people have been commenting about the lights in the video.... There are a few reasons for the lights to be on. First of all, the babysitters need to complete the night time routine including preparing bottles of milk and distributing these to the babies. The caregivers need to see properly when feeding the babies to make sure everyone is fed, and to monitor how much milk each baby drinks. Next, the lights are on while the babies fall asleep so the babies can see each other and their caregivers, so they are not scared. Remember, all these infants have gone through the trauma of being separated from their mothers. Seeing their friends and babysitters as they fall asleep is reassuring. Once the babies are settled and the caregivers can see they are all tucked in safely, the lights can be turned off. A tired baby will fall asleep in daytime or nighttime, lights or darkness. Likewise, a sudden noise may momentarily startle the babies, but background noise and activity does not keep them from sleeping. What is most important for the babies to sleep is that they are comfortable. That includes having a full belly, seeing and touching their friends, or being rocked as needed. This leads to your question of why the room contains no leaves or nests as in the wild. Remember that the babies spend all day in the forest, surrounded by the leaves and trees. It is here in nursery school that they are introduced to the idea of building nests of branches and leaves. But they are too young to do this on their own. They would not be able to make a nest for themselves in the baby house, and if the caregivers were to make a nest off the ground for them, the babies may fall out. Remember, at this age they should still be clinging on to their mom while sleeping in a nest. The priority is helping the babies feel comfort and security. This is done by having them sleep in baskets filled with blankets (and other babies!) for softness and warmth. The older orangutans at the care center are provided with branches and leaves for making nests in the night houses if they wish. The infants, however, just need a small bed (basket or hammock) to keep them safe and secure. As far as the sterile environment, please know that the baby house is part of a quarantined area. Strict health protocols are followed and the area must be easy to clean and disinfect. Infant orangutans that have been taken from their mothers are especially vulnerable to illness since they do not have the nutrients from their mother’s milk. We often have sick babies that need to be cared for in the baby house. In addition, the entire baby house can easily be cleaned while all the babies are in the forest during the day. Thanks for caring about orangutans! We would be very grateful for your support! Please visit the Orangutan Outreach website to learn how YOU can help the orangutans! redapes.org {:(|}

SusanMc 6946 Do your homework. The palm oil industry has devastated the orangutan population. Look up the video of the orangutan trying to fight off a bulldozer destroying its habitat. And to those saying palm oil is in everything - bullshit. Read the ingredients before buying and just opt for something that doesn’t include it. There are ALWAYS alternatives. Do boycotts really need to be explained to people these days? Choose not to buy products that include palm oil and eventually manufacturers will choose not to include it. It’s used in contrast to other oils because it’s cheap. The less people buy palm oil products, the less it has any cost incentive. Give. A. Damn. People. It really doesn’t take much effort and you’ll sleep better at night - as will more baby orangutans with their own mothers.

They’re all so well behaved. No crying, tantrums, or fighting. They’re all so adorable. Sad that they all lost their mommy’s, but happy that they have loving caretakers.

I amazed at these, wonders of creation. Their eyes, like human babies eyes, have that bright spark, the purest form of life. Just taking in the wonders around them, full of expression and transparency. But even as they grow older, their eyes have a matter of fact-ness, and casual comfort with life, that we don't. An admirable quality in many ways. Stoic. Even Regal I tried to figure out why that is, and I determined it is because they are rocking their Schumann, and we don't even recognize it, amongst the clutter of our bombardments.
