Meet Suzie, the Sumatran orangutan! She arrived at the @gladysporterzoo in July of 1970 and was 50 years old when this photo was taken. Over the years, those who care for her have watched her grow up from a friendly ball of orange fur to a caring maternal figure. Suzie has raised babies of her own, as well as one of her daughter's babies. In her later years, she became a rather accomplished artist, and used water-based paints and a brush to create paintings that were occasionally sold to raise funds for the Zoo’s conservation projects. Tragically, Sumatran orangutans are listed as critically endangered. They were once distributed over the entire island of Sumatra but are now restricted to small, scattered areas in its northern section. With Sumatra’s rainforests being cut and cleared at an alarming rate and turned into palm oil plantations, the orangutans’ greatest threats are habitat loss and illegal capture for the pet trade. Experts suggest that this species could be the first great ape to become extinct in the wild. One of the best ways you can help save this species is by voting with your dollar. Palm oil is the most widely consumed vegetable oil on Earth and causes habitat loss for more than just this species. About half of all packaged goods from shampoo to peanut butter contain this oil and it isn’t always labeled clearly. Palm oil is often listed under other names to confuse consumers. Learn more at the link in my bio and educate yourself on how to avoid purchasing products that contain palm oil.
