What organisations/projects are already in place to conserve/protect Indonesian wildlife and rainforest.
there are many organisations/projects already place to conserve and protect Indonesian wildlife and rainforest such as the Borneo Orangutan Survival centre, the certified sustainable palm oil, the WWF, the Directorate General of Forest Protection and Natural Conservation of Indonesia, the Lore Lindu National Park of Indonesia Act Wild and Zoo Australia helps out a bit.

I believe we can, if we want to conserve their animals and forest's we should be able to respect the views of indigenous cultures. It should be our responsibility to educate them on the effects of palm oil and other disastrous stuff.
 * Can we respect the views of indigenous cultures in our quest for conservation?**

With 147 species of mammals, 114 birds, 91 birds and 2 invertebrate species are endangered in Indonesia it has the most endangered animals in the world. I added all that up and that equals 354 different endangered animal species. A lot of animals are taken and sold on the black market and about 20 percent of them die in in transportation. Another reason why the animals are rapidly becoming endangered is because of Palm Oil plantations. due to the large demand for palm oil about 90 percent of the orangutan habitat's being destroyed in the last 20 years.

WWF


The World Wildlife Fund Of Nature (Or WWF) Is the worlds first and largest inter nation conservation organisation, the were first formed on the 29th of April, 1961 when a small group of far sighted conservationists from around the world banded together, there goal, to protect the hundreds of different species in our world from extinction for generations to come, they have had huge success, with there trademarks panda logo known throughout the world and more that five million people backing, the WWF are the most successful of all. One of there programs is CSPO (Certified Sustainable Palm Oil) which is banding together many to help support the production of sustainable Palm Oil. I believe that the WWF is one of the best wildlife protection organisation and few oppose there methods unlike organisations like Greenpeace. http://www.wwf.org.au/

**Greenpeace** Greenpeace was formed by conservationist's determined to change our attitudes towards earth and to give our slowly dying planet a voice, they work to create an energy revolution, defend the oceans, protect the forests, disarm and create peace and many more things, although some of the things they do are controversial (such as hijacking whaling ships) other things they do have the support of many, such as there work to stop the mass deforestation and animal killing in Indonesia. I would support these guys because there doing what the government won't do to protect our world http://www.greenpeace.org/australia/en/

SIES Fund
The Save Indonesia's Endangered Species Conservation Funds name says it all, they have tons of projects throughout Indonesia working to protect there natural environment, they know that many of Indonesia's species are headed for extinction and there doing what they can to protect the many Animals, Plants and Habitats there, they are little known but they have had a great success rate and they were formed by a small group of Australian's and Americans determined to preserve Indonesia for generations. http://siesfund.org/

**Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation** The Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation is a non-profit organization in Indonesia. As of 2012 the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation houses 804 orangutans. The Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation is the largest primate conservation centre in the world. The Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation was founded in 1994 by a forest ecologist call Dr. Willie Smits who witnessed a sick baby in a cage whilst walking in a market in East Kalimantan and was struck by “the saddest eyes” he has ever seen and found her later in a rubbish heap and took her home to nurse her back to health. A few weeks later he was given another orangutan to care for. The number of orangutans in his care grew and by 1994 the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation was founded. I believe that the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation doing a good job but need a lot more support from people all around the world. http://www.orangutans.com.au/


 * Opinions**
 * Dylan -** I believe that all these conservations are doing a good job but they still need our help and support. I discovered that the guy that fonded the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation found an orangutan in the rubbish. I also find it sad that more and more endangered animals are becoming endangered everyday.


 * Conor - ** Whats scarier, seeing a shark in the ocean or not seeing one at all, we can all be Steve Irwin but we can do whatever we can to help conservation efforts around the world, i support with all my heart what these groups are doing to save our planet.


 * Feedback**
 * Jordyn and Kaycee:** I found out about the organization SIES fund, I never knew it existed until today. I also found out that WWF was the first and is the biggest inter nation conservation organisation. I now realize that there are more organizations that I thought. The information was presented is a nice and easy to read way. The picture are great and now make it easier for me to recognize the organizations. There was a good amount of information and it was generally easy to read and at a good standard. Conner and Dylan did an excellent job in their wiki. It could possibly be improved by putting more of your opinions on the bottom, because that’s what bu is looking at well done!
