Ayer nos dejó Biruté Galdikas, la mayor experta en orangutanes, poniendo fin a una era clave en la conservación de grandes primates 😢.
Era la última "trimata": Dian Fossey en gorilas, Jane Goodall en chimpancés y Galdikas en orangutanes.

With Jane Goodall (chimps) and Dian Fossey (gorillas) she was one of the Leakey “Trimates,”studying the great apes in the wild. She became a tireless advocate for orangutans and their habitat. #nopalmoil

This is sad. I had the good fortune to spend a week with Dr. Galdikas as a young biology student back in 1992. Still carry fond memories (and sorrows) of her lessons about conservation, deforestation and how close we are - in every sense - to orangutans. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/02/s...

La primatologue Biruté Galdikas, proche de Jane Goodall, fait partie des premières à avoir étudié les orangs-outans.
Elle raconte ses séjours dans la jungle, avec les serpents et les longues pluies, et son premier contact passionnant avec ces animaux.
