Birute Galdikas: Perbedaan antara revisi

Upaya pelestarian Birute akhirnya melampaui advokasi dan menuju rehabilitasi untuk banyak orang utan yang kemudian menjadi yatim piatu dan dirawat olehnya. Hal ini dikarenakan banyak orang utan yang awalnya adalah binatang peliharaan ilegal menjadi terlalu pintar dan terlalu sulit untuk dirawat oleh pemiliknya.<ref name="NGS1075" />

 

==Legacy==

While campaigning actively on behalf of primate conservation and preservation of rain forest, Galdikas continues her field research, among the lengthiest continuous studies of a [[mammal]] ever conducted. Her husband, [[Pak Bohap]], was a [[Dayak people|Dayak]] rice farmer, [[tribe|tribal]] president, and co-director of the orangutan program in Borneo. She has also written several books, including a [[memoir]], written long after her fellow "Angels" published theirs, entitled ''[[Reflections of Eden]]''. In it, Galdikas describes her experiences at [[Camp Leakey]] and efforts to rehabilitate ex-captive orangutans and release them into the Borneo rainforest.

 

Dr. Galdikas is currently a professor at [[Simon Fraser University]] in [[Burnaby, British Columbia]], and Professor Extraordinaire at [[University of Indonesia|Universitas Nasional]] in [[Jakarta]], Indonesia. She is also president of the [[Orangutan Foundation International]] in [[Los Angeles, California]].
