It's only been 3 days since our inauguration on Monday and the response from the students has been positively overwhelming! The sales of T-shirts have sky rocketed through the roof and instead of having trouble promoting them, our biggest dilemma is how to deal with the number of orders we're getting! If you include the fact that the majority of the form 5's weren't even there during the launch (SPM trials), and that the form 3's have to sit for their PMR exams in less than a week, it's really incredible that we've managed to sell this many. And this is only the beginning! We've yet to reach out to the public about our campaign but fear not, for we - the crusaders for orangutan lives - will not fail to appeal to the 'outside world'. In fact, we've already got tons of activities lined up which everyone can participate in! It's all top - secret though, so no telling what we've got up our sleeves. You guys will just have to hold your breath and wait to be bowled over. =)
We've also decided to post up some of the BIG numbers we're really proud of.
Take into account that we're only in the first week of our campaign and haven't yet started to entice the community to buy our products, and these figures are really HUGE.
For the sale of T - shirts, we're pleased to inform you that we have received 130 orders as of today.
We've also been collecting petitions and with only the help of our group members we have managed to reach a staggering number of 280!
Remember, it's only been three days since our launch.
Hopefully, the numbers will continue to climb and with the help of everyone, we'll be able to send loads of cash to WWF Malaysia.

Above, we have presented our ‘VERY’ innovative T-shirt designs, there will be two choices. The backs though have a common design as shown in the included image. With 5 facts about Asia's only great ape displayed on your back, no one will doubt that you really LURVE these animals… no one.. The top left T-shirt will suit our female supporters as it has been custom - cut especially for them while the bottom one’s for y’all guys. That way, everyone can all show their AWESOME love for orangutans. Of course, if you're a girl, it's completely up to you which T-shirt you prefer. However, if any male supporters buy the first T-shirt, be warned - unless you’re SUPER skinny - that it won't fit... The 'We Love Orangutans' shirt comes in S,M,L,XL and a Baby - T size while the AWSM T-shirt range from L to XXXL. Each one costs RM 15 but those who buy in 5 or more expect a discount of RM 2 per T-shirt!
Beneath the shirts, you can very well see a cute image of a baby orangutan in black. Well, little cutey there, is Myki the Orangutan! Our mascot. He will be featured on our custom made leather key chains so that anyone can have the joy of carrying him around. Plus with his simple design he'll go with just about anything. This friendly orangutan promises to keep you company at all times and go wherever you take him (no complaints whatsoever!). Isn't he just the ultimate little buddy? And he comes at a bargain price too! You can get him for as little as RM 2 so I’m shocked you’re not rushing to buy him RIGHT NOW.
Last but not least, we give you our one of a kind orangutan themed button badge. Located beneath the image of the key chain design, we have exhibited our chosen persona for the button badges. Once again you can see our charming friend encouraging all of us to come together for the sake of orangutans everywhere. Myki would like to send out his message to the public and would be able to do so much more efficiently if he was pinned to your bag. Of course, being a button badge, Myki has no problem at all being pinned to anything you want. He'll do just fine on a cap, bag or wallet. This button badge is priced at RM 2.50 but should you choose to buy two of him, we'll gladly lower the price to RM 4 for both (meaning RM 2 for one).
Recap!
Shirts = RM 15.00
Discount of RM 2.00 if you buy 5 or more at the same time.
Key chains = RM 2.00
Button badges = RM 2.50
Discount of RM 0.50 if you buy 2 at once.
These prices will only last until the 10th of October. If you purchase any of our items later than that, you'll have to pay a little bit extra. So, come one come all and buy our products at this special price while stocks last!

In the process of running this campaign, we have been asked numerous times ‘Why should we save orangutans?’ ‘What makes them so special?’ ‘Why not choose some other animal to protect?’ To help clear all doubts as to the importance of this species, we have decided to put up a post on the significance of orangutans and the reasons why everyone should pitch in to help them.
- There are only 45,000 to 50000 Bornean orangutans living in the wild.
- Orangutans are listed in the top 25 most endangered primates worldwide.
- They give birth every 6 to 10 years (the longest interbirth interval of any animal) resulting in fewer offspring compared to humans which have a birth rate of about 1 child every 1 to 2 years.
- They are the only Asian great ape.
- Experts predict their extinction within the next ten years if deforestation continues at this rate.
- Orangutans are needed to maintain the diversity of species on Earth.
- Losing them would result in an unbalanced ecosystem.
- By dispersing seeds in the forest, orangutans play a major role in forest regeneration and plant species diversity.
- From a religious point of view, orangutans are one of the many creations of God and we should cherish them as such.
- According to expert anthropologists, the study of orangutans is key to understanding the process of human evolution.
- In ten years, experts predict that orangutans could be extinct and we would have lost forever the only great ape of Asia.
- And of course, we need to preserve them for our children's children so that they can see an orangutan with their own eyes and realize how valuable this species is to us.
We never know the worth of water till the well is dry. ~Thomas Fuller, Gnomologia, 1732

Introduction
The need?
To save the Orangutans which are facing extinction due to our inconsiderate actions of deforestation.
AND
This blog is born.
Dedicated to giving new hope to these endangered primates, we would like to inform every human being on this earth about OUR responsibilities as to how to give them new hope.
We want people to be aware of the effects their actions have on the environment.
By starting this blog, we are doing our best to encourage everyone to start doing their part in taking care of this gentle ape. We need our readers to realize how precarious their situation is. Orangutans lie on the brink of extinction and only through our combined efforts will there be even the slightest chance of the species making it through the next few years.
By blogging about Orangutans, we hope not only to prevent this one species from becoming extinct but to also save the environment. If more people understood how their actions, whether directly or indirectly cause the Orangutans to suffer, maybe..just maybe.. they will start taking better care of the flora and fauna around them too.
