BOS: Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation

Willie Smits has set up this foundation that protects Orang utans and fights deforestation.\ This happens primarily for tropical wood for palm-seed oil. The latter is used as a biofuel and as food. Any product with unspecified 'vegetable-oil' in it will with 90% probability have palm-seed oil in it and therefore contributes to the genocide of Orang utans.\ Yes genocide is a correct term here, I don't use it frivolously, because these creatures are much closer to humans emotionally and intellectually than you probably think. Read the book http://www.ullmann-publishing.com/thinkers\Thinkers of the Forest, it's scary. The classic border between animal- and human kingdoms becomes unnervingly indistinct.
