Amazing work

Amazing work
Hello, nice to hear you again!!Yes truly brilliant work at the Kibili Sepilok Nature Reserve. It has been years ago so I am just publishing it now and I am not updated circa the current situation there. But hope they will keep the work as good as possible in order to get to see as many orangutans as possible in the future. I am going back to Asia on February 2018 and I might go back to Sepilok to see how the work is going. Thanks for the comment RenAndrew and keep well Bye
