This May, those of you living in Australasia, have a look at the new issue of Asian Geographic Junior. I'm writing an article focusing on the work of orangutan rehab centres (specifically Sintang Lestari

A first positive step from KFC, hopefully they will extend this move to other countries...

Well done everyone, I'm sure our combined efforts to promote this project as well as the deforestaction group has a very positive impact on people around us.

May the force be with you deforestaction!

Congratulations to everyone. Regardless of the outcome of the Project Borneo final selection, we have shown how powerful we can be when we all work and act together. We have all brought so much awareness, and interest and hype around such an important issue. Well done. I'm really proud to be a part of this.

You two should be fine, as long as you submitted your videos before the deadline time. They should accept your entries if you entered them before the deadline, not if they are displayed on the website before the deadline. I hope they are up soon!

Hi.. Good luck for you all..

Thanks Thomas, yeah it was submitted on Saturday...but now I am thinking it didnt work for some reason :( it went onto utube no problems and then i followed all the instructions to upload it.... oh bugger, hope it worked.
Good luck to all the entrants and well done for supporting such a great cause.

I uploaded my video yesterday.. Here is my video : http://gg.tigweb.org/tig/deforestaction/54721/
Best of luck to all applicants.. Keep up the good work to protect our forests n orangutans

Oh Goodness. I submitted my video yesterday and I still haven't seen it. I hope it gets up soon! Good Luck to you all! :)

Encyclopedia of the Earth - interesting website I've just been introduced to!
http://www.eoearth.org/

I also have a question about youtube: The number of views my vid has changes depending on weather I view it in the search page, or actually open it up. Why is that? Does anyone know?

As the deadline has arrived I just want to thank everyone for checking out my video, voting, and most of all becoming a part of the taking it global community. This is an awsome medium for bringing like minded, passionate, and active minds together. We have definately created a huge awareness base on the issue of deforestation in Borneo. Goodluck to everyone who submitted their video to this great cause. For those of us that are not chosen as one of the eleven individuals, keep fighting for what you believe in because wherever there is pain, suffering, abuse, and exploitation, there will always be a battlefield.

Hi Perry!

Just to let you know, voting hasn't finished yet! Its set to finish at GMT-5 as far as I can undertand, so that means we still have 4 hours left! Although I'd say all your statements still stand true :-)

Just wanted to say that we are so close to the deadline! and want to wish the best to all of the applicants!! It is great to see all the effort on everybody's videos and the passion that we all put into the applications for this wondeful project!! We loved the fact that by Borneo 3D and Taking it Global we were able to see that there's people all around the world who care about the Earth and the orangutans of course! =)

Best of luck everybody! You're all already action agents in my mind! Please don't forget, there is *plenty* we all can do to start helping the orangutans and rural communities today. There is no need to wait until May or June! If you're interested, check out the link below for a TIG forum thread that will supply you with a wealth of resources on how to get involved. Keep up the good work everybody - our momentum is growing and together we may just be able to turn the tide for the forests of Borneo and the people and wildlife that call them home! {:(|)
