View artist portfolioThis is my video application for the 'Project Borneo 3D'. The DeforestACTION Project, along with acclaimed conservationist Dr Willie Smits, Orangutan Outreach, Virgo Productions, Microsoft Partners in Learning and TakingITGlobal have launched the 'Project Borneo 3D'.
The project involves 10 young activists travelling to Borneo for 5 months to film a 6-part TV series and 3D action movie about saving Borneo's rainforests and the endangered orangutans that call them home.
However; action agents have to be 18 - 35 years of age to apply. Would you like to see a fourteen-year-old saving the forests of Borneo? Please vote for me to show the world the power of youth.
Many Thanks,
Thomas King.

I've worked with Thomas King firsthand on orangutan conservation issues. I'd like to echo his great commitment to our red-haired cousins. I've seen him do more at 14 years of age than activists twice his age who are committed to the very same issues. I stand behind his candidacy 100%! Best of luck Thomas!
Thank you so much Steve, I appreciate your support! I hope people can understand my commitment and passionate to this important cause through my video, and your comment will certainly help. Thank you.
Fingers crossed I will be fortunate enough to take part in the project, whether it is as one of the 10 leaders, or a smaller role (perhaps a cameo appearance in one of the TV episodes). Either way, it would be an honour to work with the amazing Dr Willie Smits, Cathy Henkel, Richard Zimmerman and the rest of the team.
Best of luck to you too Steve, you are truly a worthy candidate for this project and deserve a place as one of the group leaders. Cheers mate :-)
So proud of you, just voted. Can I vote many times? Hope you win dear Thomas.
Hi there,
Thank you so much for your vote, I really appreciate it! If you voted the correct way, through this page: http://gg.tigweb.org/tig/deforestaction/judge/
then I think you can only vote once. Thanks for your support!
I and the entire family of COP support you
Terima kasih, Hardi.
hey thomas great video!!!! you have my vote! i hope you win because you are already doing great things for the orangutans!!
Thomas, your heart is filled with passion
Hello Thomas I've just found this! I hope you win because you have passion AND compassion - and because you are so interested know that you have a realistic view of the challenges, both the joy and despair you will experience on the project. Make sure your Mum gets you that Skin so Soft mosquito stuff from Avon! Shared it with all my fb friends and good luck - I have voted for you x
not easy to vote is it Thomas! didn't realise you had to click on the little box - anyone else that wants to vote go to http://gg.tigweb.org/tig/deforestaction/judge/ find Thomas's picture and click on the small box on the right until a tick appears, scroll right down to the bottom and click on 'cast vote'. phew! thomas if you don't get it because of your age don't be disappointed - it will be the insurance, and as you know, COP can't take anyone because of this too. Fingers crossed for you!
Hi Sharon,
Thanks for your kind support! I too hope that I will be lucky enough to be a part of this amazing project. I certainly will NOT be buying that Avon skin product, because Avon use palm oil!! Hahah, thanks for sharing my video Sharon! :-)
Thomas, you are so incredible! I am in awe of you :) If only every person had a heart as kind as yours! Your website made me cry..I will share it with all my friends on facebook (I hope that is ok?!) Age is no matter...please don't ever give up your passion and committment to this cause - the world needs more people like you :) WOW!
Hey Fleur,
Thank you so much for your lovely compliments! I wouldn't be where I am without kind, supportive people such as yourself who encourage me to pursue my passion... and I can assure you, I will NEVER give up!
Please feel free to share my site through facebook, the world needs to know about the horrendous impacts they are having on species like the orangutan.
Also, if you have any suggestions for my website, I would love to here them. I'm always looking to improve it.
Congratulations on your fantastic video too, Fleur. You seem like a very caring, passionate environmentalist and animal lover. Best of luck!! :-)
Good work Thomas. I wish a lot of people would be as mature as you are regarding the environment and our planet. A forecast a bright future for you. Take care and keep going.
Thomas for one so young you are incredibily intelligent, good luck with your endeavour may all of your dreams come true!
Thanks so much Fabrice and Valerie!

Great work Thomas! I know how much work you do for the orangutans and how passionate you are about the cause! Not many adults would put in the time and effort you do, let alone any other 14 year old! I will keep my fingers crossed that you are successful!! Good luck.
Thanks so much everyone for your lovely, supportive comments!! :-)
