Download or read book Reaching for the Canopy written by Kylie Bullo and published by Apollo Books. This book was released on 2015 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Temara had done her species proud and proven that captive orangutans do have a place in the jungle of tomorrow. I felt honoured that I was by her side during the first part of her remarkable world-first journey. In 2006, Kylie Bullo and her colleagues at Australia's Perth Zoo were part of a bold, groundbreaking experiment that many experts believed was doomed to failure - to return a zoo-born orangutan to the wild. The orangutan they chose was Temara, a fiery redhead with a will of her own. Temara had always been strong, intelligent, and independent, but preparing for the return to the jungles of her ancestors would put all her best qualities - and those of her keepers - to the test. Reaching for the Canopy is the story of that remarkable journey and of the remarkable woman who helped make it happen. The book proves that the right blend of passion, compassion, and hard work can achieve what many thought was impossible. It brings new hope to those fighting to bring this magnificent creature back from the brink of extinction. Part of the proceeds on the sale of this book will go towards orangutan conservation projects. *** Librarians: ebook available on ProQuest and EBSCO ) [Subject: Memoir, Zoology]

Download or read book Among Orangutans written by Carel van Schaik and published by teNeues. This book was released on 2004 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The local people know him as the "Man of the Forest," who refused to speak for fear of being put to work. And indeed the bear-like Sumatran orangutan, with his moon face, lanky arms, and shaggy red hair, does seem uncannily human; one of our closest relatives in the animal kingdom, the orangutan may have much to tell us about the origins of human intelligence, technology, and culture. In this book one of the world's leading experts on Sumatran orangutans, working in collaboration with nature photographer Perry van Duijnhoven, takes us deep into the disappearing world of these captivating primates. In a narrative that is part adventure, part field journal, part call to conscience, Carel van Schaik introduces us to the colorful characters and complex lives of the orangutans who inhabit the vanishing forests of Sumatra. In compelling words and pictures, we come to know the personalities and temperaments of our primate cousins as they go about their days: building double-decker tree nests; using leaves as napkins, gloves, rain hats, and blankets, and sticks as backscratchers and probes; nurturing their infants longer and more intensely than any other nonhuman mammal. Here are the births and deaths, the first use of a tool, the defeat of a rival, the gradual loss of influence that, while fascinating to observe, may also help us to reconstruct human evolution.
