15 years ago, there were no orangutans in Jantho Nature Reserve.
Today, it’s home to a growing wild population. Nearly 200 rescued and relocated orangutans have been brought to Jantho, and at least 10 babies born here.
But how do you build a wild orangutan population?

Climate scientist @kevinclimate.bsky.social says “we need to eliminate fossil fuels”.

For <2C, the UK has 7 years of current CO2 emissions.
Drax and CCS are delay tech.
Heat pumps, good public transport, and deep cuts of aviation are essential.

What does it take to retire this hunger for the profit motive. Has our civilizational awareness just evaporated?
We have to understand structural adjustment, with its forced privatisation and dismantling of public provisioning systems across the South, as mass-scale dispossession and a transfer of wealth from the world’s working classes directly into the hands of international capital.
