Sentencia Habeas Corpus n. 833085-3/2005. The 9th Criminal Court of the State of Bahia (Brazil). Case Suiça vs. Zoological Garden of the City of Salvador by Heron Santana Gordillo

“…Los juristas, están aplicando los recientes descubrimientos acerca de la proximidad genética entre el ser humano y los chimpancés, para reclamar la extensión de los derechos previstos para los seres humanos a los grandes primates, como los chimpancés, bonobús, gorilas y orangutanes. En este sentido, muchos activistas por los derechos de los Animales emplean la controversia jurídica como una estrategia esencial, bien para extraer nuevos significados a instituciones como el Habeas Corpus, usado hasta ahora únicamente como salvaguarda de la libertad del ser humano, bien para reforzar el movimiento animalista y con ello reforzar la concienciación de la gente, sobre lo importante que es el reconocimiento de derechos básicos a los Animales.…”

Ecotourism, local community and partners for wetlands? in the lower Kinabatangan area of Sabah: managing conservation or conflicts? by Rosazman Hussin

“…Scientific research on biodiversity conducted by WWF Malaysia during the 1980s claimed that the Lower Kinabatangan Floodplain (Wetlands) including Sukau had the very good potential for ecotourism because it is home to many rare and endangered species such as orangutan, and the proboscis monkey, Borneo elephants, birds and reptiles. …”

Disease-associated mitochondrial mutations and the evolution of primate mitogenomes. by William Corrêa Tavares, Héctor N Seuánez

“…Only two confirmed variants (7.1%), coding for the same amino acids accounting for severe human diseases, were identified without apparent pathogenicity in non-human primates, like the closely related Bornean orangutan. Conversely, reported disease-associated mutations were not especially concentrated in conserved codon positions, and a large fraction of them occurred in highly variable ones. …”

Open plains are not a level playing field for hominid consonant-like versus vowel-like calls by Charlotte Gannon, Russell A. Hill, Adriano R. Lameira

“…To recreate how arboreal proto-vowels and proto-consonants would have interacted with a new ecology at ground level, we assessed how a series of orangutan voiceless consonant-like and voiced vowel-like calls travelled across the savannah. …”

Indonesian Economic Diplomacy toward Palm Oil: Indonesia’s Respond to the EU Resolution on Palm Oil and Deforestation of Rainforest (2016/2222(INI)) by Hamid Salsabilah, Paramitaningrum

“…However, in the past few years, there were some international reports, including European media, that Indonesian palm oil is environmentally unfriendly, because the operation of palm oil plantation leads to deforestation and the greenhouse emission issue, abandoning the local people's, rights and decreasing the population of orangutan and other animals. EU then produced EU Resolution on Palm Oil and Deforestation of Rainforest (2016/2222(INI)) in 2017 to ban the import of Indonesian palm oil. …”
