Here are the rest of the pictures from our Kumai adventure.
The next day we went for a stroll in the jungle. Some of the trails have boardwalks that are quickly rotting and becoming part of the jungle. It makes for an exciting and springy walk.
Then we went to see more orangutans.
The orangutans get roots and milk for their meal. This little fellow is taking a bath in the milk instead. He heard its good for beauty!
Here is Ali posing with her ex. I donno how he got in the picture.
This fella is a proboscis monkey. Gotta wonder if its good for anything?
Happy little monkey.
After all that hiking in the jungle we decided to take a shower in the rain. It was very refreshing.
The crew on our boat made us meals all day long and we had candle lit dinners.
We hid from the bugs behind mosquito netting during the night.
This is our guide Jeffrey. He was a park ranger beforehand and taught us about the orangutan ecosystem and how it's threatened.
The last day we planted some trees to restore some burn damaged areas. Matt was pretty proud of his rat feeding tree.
This is the biggest threat to the orangutans. Deforestation for logging and palm tree plantations. They live on two places in the world and their habitat is being eliminated. If you wish to help them out visit orangutan.org
