My brothers and sisters- The Orangutans
If any of you- my beloved readers- want to to do a good thing, I propose for you to give a small token for the preservation of the Orangutans at Borneo. For 75 Kr ($12.50) a month or 900 Kr ($150) a year you can "adopt" an orangutan. Follow this link (in Swedish only; but it should not be so hard to figure out). Otherwise there ceartainly are other English and American charities that does the same good deed.
The orangutans are on the brink of extinction. One of the reasons is that their natural habitat is being chopped down, mainly for palm oil plantages. All in the name of the green muppets environmental scam. When will they learn?

Hold on a minute . . . these look like American Congressmen. Are you sure you want to preserve them?

Hi there,
Thank you for providing this link. As I am sure not all your readers are Swedish (I'm not!) they might like to know that there are members of Borneo Orangutan Survival (BOS) International in many parts of the world including UK, USA (where it is called Orangutan Outreach), Germany, Denmark, Indonesia, Switzerland, Australia and the Netherlands (where it is called Primates Helping Primates.) By adopting an orangutan by BOS, you are supporting the largest primate rescue project in the world, and the only organisation actively rescuing wild orangutans from certain death in the palm oil plantations which are taking over their last remaining fragments of forest. You can adopt at www.savetheorangutan.co.uk from anywhere in the world, or from www.redapes.org in the US. You can also find your way to the other country sites from these locations.
Please help.
