A Great Helper for Great Apes
Meet orangutan expert Biruté Mary Galdikas, who works to protect
the endangered animals and their habitat
Biruté Mary Galdikas has studied orangutans for more than 40 years. These endangered great apes live in the rainforests of Borneo and Sumatra, which are islands in Southeast Asia. Galdikas’s teacher was the famous anthropologist Louis Leakey. He helped her begin her orangutan studies in Borneo.
TFK talked to Galdikas about her fascination with orangutans and the threats they face. Here are parts of the interview.
TIME FOR KIDS (TFK): Is it true that it was at age 6, after reading Curious George, when you became interested in learning more about animals?
BIRUTÉ MARY GALDIKAS: Yes, but I was interested in animals even before I went to kindergarten.
TFK: You founded the Orangutan Foundation International (OFI) in 1986 to help protect orangutans. The animals are endangered because the rainforests where they live, in Indonesia and Malaysia, are being destroyed. Is their habitat disappearing faster than other rainforests?
GALDIKAS: All tropical rainforests are threatened. It appears that the orangutan rainforest habitats in Indonesia and Malaysia are disappearing faster than most. Rainforests in Africa were protected for many years by isolation and war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. People don’t log very much when a war is going on. They tend to leave the forests alone. The Amazon rainforest is so large you could fit much of the continent of Europe inside it. Its large size has protected it, to some degree. In Indonesia and Malaysia, the rainforests are extremely threatened because of deforestation caused by the palm oil industry. Palm oil is the most commonly used vegetable oil in the world. Up to 50% of processed food in the supermarket contains palm oil!
TFK: You spend at least half the year in Borneo, working with orangutans. What do ______________ find most fascinating about the animals?
GALDIKAS: Orangutans are calm, gentle animals that live in the canopy of the tropical rainforest eating fruit. ______________ have unique personalities that are as different as the personalities of humans are from each other. I feel blessed that ______________ can work with orangutans and study ______________. I enjoy learning about ______________ and their ecology. I have become friends with many orangutans and that gives ______________ the greatest pleasure of all!

President Obama Launches Gun-Violence Task Force
Five days after deadliest elementary school shooting in U.S. history, President Obama said his administration plans immediate action early next year on proposals to curb an “epidemic of gun violence”. At a morning news conference, Obama announced the formation of a task force to be headed by Vice President Joe Biden that will formulate a package of policy recommendations by January. “The fact that this problem is complex can no longer be an excuse for doing nothing”, Obama said. “The fact that we can’t prevent every act of violence doesn’t mean that we can’t steadily reduce the violence and prevent the very worst violence.” The president said he intends to push for implementation of the proposals “without delay”. “This is a team that has a very specific task to pull together real reforms right now”, he said.
While Obama did not offer specifics, he suggested the task force would examine an array of steps to curb gun violence and prevent mass shootings, including legislative measures, mental health resources and a “look more closely at a culture that all-too-often glorifies guns and violence”. “I will use all the powers of this office to help advance efforts aimed at preventing more tragedies like this”, Obama said.
Obama made similar pronouncements following at least four other mass shootings that marked his first term. But few policy changes were made. “This is not the first incident of horrific gun violence of your four years. Where have you been?”, asked ABC News’ Jake Tapper. “I’ve been president of the United States, dealing with the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, an auto industry on the verge of collapse, two wars. I don’t think I’ve been on vacation”, Obama responded.

- Palito de churrasco.
- Pincéis chatos finos.
- Tesoura sem ponta
- Tinta para artesanato nas cores marrom, preto, laranja, vermelho.
Procedimentos:
1º. Mostrar as imagens de esculturas em alto relevo, sugeridas no site citado. Explorar a técnica e em que época foram feitas e em que tipo de material.
2º. Entregar a barra de sabão para cada criança e instruí-los para que façam um trabalho bem feito e com paciência. As crianças deverão desenhar com o palito de churrasco e depois ir desbastando o sabão utilizando a tesoura e o palito. Sugerir aos alunos que façam desenhos do tipo arte rupestre, já que estudaram sobre o assunto neste semestre.
3º. Após a etapa de esculpir, feito, ensiná-los a pintar com leveza a escultura e depois passar o paninho para tirar o excesso de tinta.
4º. Vocês podem utilizar a escultura para fazer “carimbos” em folhas. Basta passar a tinta e, com ela ainda molhada, pressionar uma folha em cima da escultura, obtendo assim a impressão dela.
- 5º. Expor os trabalhos.
