Recent Orangutan Workshop

Several of ACE's board members have just returned from a workshop held at Chicago's Brookfield Zoo which focused on orangutan conservation and care of orangutans in zoological settings. It was an international gathering of field scientists, zoo personnel, and academics all of whom are concerned about the critical nature of orangutan survival. Below are two links to related articles as a result of this meeting.
