Deforest Action Clip - Torty

micheal this is great work am impressed would love to take time out next year to travel to borneo~ i am a passionate eco warrior and would love any info on how to achieve my goal to travel to borneo...also who to contact in regards to the orangutan sanctuary.... love n rainbows~kia

Thanks Kia - glad you like the clip. please spread it amongst your friends and contacts. to realise your dread of traveling to Borneo i suggest saving some money it is relatively cheap in terms of living expenses so if you can get there you can stay for a while. there are so many amazing organisations doing fantastic work in Borneo and many take volunteers. so i would suggest doing that and beginning to establish relationships over there and follow your dream and work hard

The best

Yes Top Ranking give thanks mi bredda

Great work brother! Will be rating voting and spreading the word my good man. You'll be over in Borneo living your dream in no time :)

My Itinerary for the next 2 months in Sabah Borneo Doing filming with the aim of doing short films (3 minutes) for us. Marc and I were thinking along the lines of: 1. Orang-utan Research Unit (OURs) = Ultimate message, orang-utan can survive in secondary forest -film things like: --monitoring orang-utan in secondary forest, --what they eat (we have recorded over 300plus species!!) --the life of OURs staff in the field (intreviews) 2. Elephant Conservation Unit (ECU) = decline of forest, increase of conflict hence ECU --along the same lines as OURs 3. Research done by those associated with ECU, Farina from Danau Girang and Cardiff and a Malaysian! (very few of M'sians at this level), also Megan who is supported by Victoria Zoo. We see the research side as a separate story if not it will overpower the ECU guys. 4. Honorary Wildlife Wardens (HWW) = decline of forest, increase of conflict hence illegal activities --Same along the lines of OURs --important to highlight the Sabah Wildlife Department as HWWs colloborators 5. Tree-planting 6. Pangi Caves-swiflet project 7. HUTAN Environmental Awareness Project (HEAP) 8. Natural wonders of Kinabatangan 9. Wildlife monitoring (besides orang-utan, elephants), things like frogs (which is something we do with Graeme previously of Vic Zoo)

Hello Torty I'm very impressed by your creativity of your video but more impressed by the fact you've already taken action for the cause. I'm watching many videos but only voting for a select few. Those that are honest, dedicated and not looking to just be in a 3D movie and have experience. Excellent all the way and you get a 5 star ratings. All the best in being chosen.

Well done, Mike! You seem like a passionate, caring person. Sounds like you do some great work at Melb Zoo! I love the zoo and hope to do work experience there sometime soon. Best of luck!

Fantastic pitch! I think you will be one of the ten for sure, you deserve to be :)

Great video hope to see you in Borneo!

You seem like a groovy fella with a big heart! good luck

I thought that was a real orangutan for a few seconds! Love the video (and the hair!)

Thanks for the support give thanks to each and everyone. check my blog and pass it on - http://mickytort.tigblog.org/ - for all the latest on my trip to borneo
