Dolphin Care Uk and Saving Planet Earth
Dolphin Care Uk is situated in Kingston upon-hull.
In the East Riding of Yorkshire.
We have chosen to back the BBC series "Saving Planet Earth"
The BBC Wildlife Fund supports work protecting wildlife under threat around the world.
Dolphin Care UK have decided to join the BBC and invite you all to join us and help save the Orangutan of Borneo and Sumatra.
Please join us in helping to make a difference, if we do not act now it maybe to late to help some species that are threatened and near to extinction.
Dolphin Care UK are supporting this cause in Particular because of the following reason, "They will become Extinct within Ten Years".
Supporting the "Save the Orangutan Organisation", here in the UK is Borneo Orangutan Survival UK (BOS).
Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation
We all know about the dolphins around the UK, but few of you will be aware of the plight of the Orangutans in Borneo.
Many of you will be asking the question of why Dolphin Care UK have got involved with this species? as it has nothing to do with dolphins.
Let me try and explain, I was contacted recently and invited to get involved with this particular campaign, by help to give advice on how to go about producing and getting a Orang friendly logo established.
Bill Wiggin MP is being instrumental in helping this worthwhile cause and invited me down to London to the House of Commons to a meeting where he thought I might have been able to help by giving a short talk on the "Friendly Logo" scheme.
Similar to the Dolphin Friendly Logo campaign we here at Dolphin Care UK have been and still are associated with.
The Dolphin Friendly logo on cans of sea food (tuna) and other fish products, let the buyer of these products know that NO dolphins were killed in producing these products.
Bill Wiggin MP is pushing for a similar scheme about Palm Oil
Vast areas of rain forest are being cleared it seems almost sacrilegious to rip that extraordinary biodiversity up and leave what will eventually become desert. The forests are being cut down and replaced by palm trees, whose lucrative oil is used in everything from toothpaste to biscuits.
Support Bill Wiggin MP, visit his website here:
(WASPO) Wiggin Award for Sustainable Palm Oil
Bill Wiggin MP is pushing for this logo to be put on food products here in the UK and throughout the world.
The logo will inform you the public, where the Palm oil came from, if it says from BORNEO please do not buy the product.
If you do, you will be one of those guilty of habitat destruction and helping to make the Orangutan become extinct in the wild.
MURDER IS THE ONLY WORD FOR IT.
Conservationists in Indonesia have accused palm oil plantation workers of deliberately killing orangutans on the island of Borneo to stop them eating their seedlings.
The activist group Centre for Orangutan Protection says at least 15-hundred of the endangered animals died in 2006, most as a result of deliberate attacks, but also due to habitat loss.
Each day in Zentralkalimantan 30 hectares of rain forest is cleared, alot of this being illegal.
In the month of JULY 2006 50 Orang Utans were killed.
The farm labourers employed in the plantations of palm trees kill orangutans deliberately, they say the orangutans eat their seedlings .
At least 1.500 orangutans found dead in 2006 in Borneo and the majority was massacred because they were accused of eating seeds of palm trees.
The orangutans are threatened of a fast extinction considering the rate/rhythm of deforestation in Indonesia, accelerated by the development of the plantations. These arboricolous primates with the long russet-red hairs live in freedom only on the islands of Sumatra and Borneo.
But for How Much Longer.
That is why we have chosen to help this campaign, it is estimated that the orangutans will have gone in about ten years.
We can not, and must not let this happen.
I am sure you will not want your children to only see these great apes behind bars or in books only.,
UPDATE
Dolphin Care UK has received an award for our help with the above, Thank you BILL.
