Two years ago Britta Culbertson brought Nicholas Bruckman and Ryder Haske on a once in a life time expedition deep into the rainforests of East Kalimantan, Indonesia. In a remote outpost, we documented the work of Eddie Game and his team of scientists as they collected audio recordings that help us understand biodiversity in the region and the effects of deforestation. This video was made for The Nature Conservancy Nature Works Everywhere program, which creates free environmental science curriculum material available to educators worldwide. #throwbackthursday #nature #videoproduction
In 2016, the Bornean #Orangutan became "critically endangered".
We followed The Nature Conservancy scientists who are using innovative acoustic technology to ensure that what's left of the orangutans' habitat is protected.
