  1. Providing #orangutan icon Princess with extra protein at OFI's Care Center and Quarantine. Princess still has sunken eyes but looks better.
  2. And #Juneau is a fascinating place! Notice that conferences often tend to be held in tropical or semi-tropical locales,especially in winter?
  3. Think about all the conferences held in #Hawaii as compared to Juneau, Alaska!
  4. Sometimes conferences seem like an excuse to go to interesting places where one always wanted to go in the first place!
  5. Went to Canary Islands for an animal rights conference.
  6. Speaking of cuisine, #Canary #Island tomatoes tasted great. Later learned the isles were actually famous for ripe- when- harvested tomatoes!
  7. @luis_al_azar Are you still making films?
  8. #Canary #Islands! Closer to Africa than to Spain! The first stepping stone to Spain's conquest of the New World.
  9. @luis_al_azar The #Canary #Islands are one of the few places I had always wanted to visit. Visited only one island but it didn't disappoint!
  10. @luis_al_azar Yes, my son and I spent a wonderful day with you and your family exploring the #Canary #Islands! Great to hear from you!
  11. @deividaa Incidentally, one of the benefits of visiting #Lithuania is the cuisine! Delicious, basic, and fresh, fresh, fresh ingredients!
  12. @deividaa Sorry but really don't know.Ate traditional foods in Lithuania so didn't explore supermarkets there very much.Food in L. is fresh!
  13. How do you know you're back in #Borneo (#Kalimantan)?When you can drive for 3 hours straight and see nothing but palm oil up to the horizon.
  14. How do you know when you are back in #Borneo(#Kalimantan)?When the police ticket not only overloaded trucks but also overloaded motorcycles.
  15. How do you know you are back in #Borneo? When the dead bird-eating #spider in your house is a new species, unknown to science!
  16. I am still crying in my heart.
  17. New official, who just replaced Pak Anton, who died in speedboat accident, will investigate.
  18. I have asked local Nature Conservation and Forest Protection agency to prosecute the palm oil co. that beat up #orangutan Luthi so badly.
  19. Especially endangered species such as #orangutans! They are not pests! They are 97% us!
  20. This is why all palm oil companies must institute zero tolerance policies concerning the killing or harming of endangered species.
