Listen "Save Global Rainforests: Dr. Ian Singleton"
Episode Synopsis
Each of us have an invisible impact. The products we buy every day directly affect people, wildlife, and Nature around the planet. Nobody knows this better than Dr. Ian Singleton, OBE, Director of the Sumatran Orangutan Conservation Programme (SOCP). Ian lives on the Indonesian island of Sumatra near Borneo, one of the most lush rainforest regions in the world. But the forests are disappearing rapidly, and along with it the habitat for thousands of species including the orangutan which is native to this region. Ian wants us to know that we can stop the destruction and protect these highly intelligent and complex animals. By understanding the change you can make with your purchases, your awareness, and your voice in daily life and on social media, you can be part of the solution so that we continue to enjoy one of the most beautiful and bio-diverse regions on Earth for generations to come.SUPPORT the SOCP: Learn more, donate, adopt an orangutan, and more at https://www.sumatranorangutan.org/.CHALLENGE: Read the labels of every product you purchase over the next two weeks. Become more aware of the ingredients added to our food, self-care, and cleaning products and how they impact our world.TAKEAWAYS: 1: When we protect Nature and wildlife, we protect ourselves. 2: We don't have to start over. We can take what we have now and do better. 3: We are each shaping the world every day, whether we are aware of our impact or not.Visit www.wecanremaketheworld.com for more info and resources.
