Orangutan & Borneo Jungle Wildlife-supporter Mug

About "BORNeo FREE" This is Teddy, a 5yr old Orangutan from Borneo. Behind him the Indonesian sun rises through Jungle leaves and a new day of forest survival begins. A fabulous image for this quality drinkware. Orangutans occur in only two places in the World, the island of Borneo and the island of Sumatra, both in Indonesia. They are rare and beautiful and under severe threat from the activities of humans, e.g. forest\habitat destruction from housing and palm-oil plantation operations, poaching, illegal smuggling to private zoos etc. etc. Their numbers are extremely low and if nothing is done to help protect them immediately, extinction is a very real prospect in only a few years time.
