Hi Ms Johnson
This is my Orangutan comment.
1) How can one person make a difference?
One person can make a difference by starting a fund to help the Orangutan’s or they could start a blog about how close they are to extinction so it makes people want to help them so they will give some money to a cause. Someone could convince people to stop cutting down there trees for palm oil plantations and then everyone will argue with that country.
2) What would you do to make a difference?
I would go to there to see what we could do to help them. Then I would bring it to that country to make a deal with them to insure that there will be plenty of Habitat for them to stay in and to make suggestion that the people working there can’t kill them or keep them as pets.
3) State five facts about this report.
1) They are cutting down the Orangutan’s habitat for Palm Oil plantations.
2) If Orangutan’s wounded in the Palm Oil plantations people kill them or keep them as pets.
3) Orangutan’s are very intelligent animals.
4) Orangutan’s have behaviours like us and use tools like us.
5) Male Orangutan’s have big flat faces with a big chin.
