		<title>I Dreamed of Borneo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It was nearly one year ago that I first found out I would be heading off to Borneo for the opportunity of a lifetime: a six-month internship with Orangutan Foundation International at the Orangutan Care Center and Quarantine (OCCQ) in Kalimantan, Indonesia. I had a few months to prepare for this journey but nothing can prepare you to for its end, although it is inevitable. As I reflect upon my experience I am filled with [...]

		<title>Orangutan of the Month – Eric</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is my last Orangutan of the Month article and the choice was clear: Eric. Eric first caught my eye when he was introduced to me by a fellow volunteer. She told me there was something different about him. My interest was piqued and I began to spend time with him. Eric quickly became a favorite of mine. Although there are many orangutans in OFI&#8217;s care at the Orangutan Care Center and Quarantine (OCCQ), it&#8217;s [...]

		<title>Sustainable Agriculture for Orangutans</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You may already know that Orangutan Foundation International (OFI) is dedicated to orangutan research and rehabilitation but you may be surprised to learn that we have expanded our research focus to include sustainable agriculture.  OFI&#8217;s Orangutan Care Centre and Quarantine (OCCQ) is located in Pasir Panjang, Kalimantan – a small village just outside of the larger city of Pangkalan Bun in Indonesian Borneo.  Pasir Panjang literally means “long sand” in the Indonesian language and any [...]

		<title>Orangutan of the Month: Maxine</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Maxine is one of the most clever orangutans I have met at the Orangutan Care Centre and Quarantine (OCCQ). One would guess that her favourite enrichment item would be a complex puzzle feeder or an intricately wrapped parcel of leaves but Maxine prefers a simple burlap sack. While other orangutans often rip apart burlap sacks, Maxine keeps hers completely intact and makes sure that nothing happens to it for weeks! She sits on it, puts [...]

		<title>Waiter, there is a bird nest in my soup!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160; Bird&#8217;s nest soup is a Chinese delicacy that has been consumed for thousands of years dating back to the Tang Dynasty (618 – 907).   Bird nests, believed to have medicinal properties, were collected from cliff-side caverns to use as an ingredient for soup, tonics, and other elixirs.  Because the collection of nests was a difficult and dangerous process, birds nest products were only attainable by the Emperor and his family.  From the Tang Dynasty [...]

		<title>Zircon: A New Threat to the Forests of Borneo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you asked what the biggest threat orangutans were facing ten years ago, the answer would have been illegal logging. Today, the biggest threat is the palm oil industry. But what about ten years from now? The answer just might be zircon in certain areas. While OFI is working to ensure there are orangutans in the wild, the uphill battle for land conservation only seems to get steeper. What little forest there is left after [...]

		<title>Orangutan of the Month: Uttuh</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Update: You can now foster Uttuh by clicking the link here I have chosen Uttuh (pronounced “oo-too”) to be Orangutan of the Month for one simple reason: her eyes. Really they are little different from the eyes of any other infant orangutan at the Orangutan Care Center and Quarantine (OCCQ) except for dazzling white rings that circle her irises. Her eyes are absolutely stunning. So is Uttuh. At one year of age, Uttuh has not [...]

		<title>Reflections of an Enrichment Volunteer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After I left my position as a long-term Environmental Enrichment volunteer at OFI’s Orangutan Care Center and Quarantine (OCCQ) in Kalimantan Tengah, I decided I wanted to share some of my experiences about the amazing place where I interned and the wonderful village that I called home for the summer of 2011. I came to the Center in June and knew instantly that it was going to be a unique, life-changing experience. The rehabilitation and [...]
