    Hi Diana Gamazova, this is a mentor, Sang Su Lee.

    I am so happy to see that a benevolent organization such as BOSF exists to take care of the wild animals. First, I did not agree with the idea that people should take responsibilities to save wild animals. However, considering that the reason why many wild animals suffer and extinct, I changed my opinion. If our actions bother and kill wild animals, then we have to take responsibilities for our actions!

    Thank you for introducing such an organization.

    Green cheers~

    And i talked bout it many times, however I've never been so precise on them.
    I like to shear info about orangutans and this organization, because I hope maybe some of the readers would find it interesting to take a research on those awesome fellows

    Thank you for your article on the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation for protecting orangutans! I think it's similar to the article I saw earlier, but I think the picture file is weird... Please check it out! I want to thank them for their efforts to take care of endangered species!
