Great great ape 🦧 news! On #WorldOrangutanDay alone, we got $29 in increased Patreon support, so Novasutras can help save two more hectares of Bukit Tigapulu, and we're on our way to adding a third.

Happy #WorldOrangutanDay! 🦧
Andy Warhol (American, 1928-1987)
"#Orangutan" from the #EndangeredSpecies series, 1983 (signed & numbered ed. of 150), screenprint 38x38 in.

Warhol chose the orangutan as one of 10 animals for his Endangered Species series. At the time, there was only one living species recognized. There are now 3 recognized in the genus Pongo, all unfortunately critically endangered: the Bornean Orangutan, the Sumatran Orangutan, and the Tapanuli Orangutan. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orangutan
