Anderson-Foothill Branch Library ORANGe UTAhN This summer, the Anderson-Foothill Branch hosts a special exhibit of art created by and with the Bornean orangutans from Utah's Hogle Zoo. The exhibit's paintings were made by three of the zoo's four orangutans, Elijah, Eve, and their child, Acara, as part of the zoo's enrichment program. Enrichment consists of novel items added to an animal's environment that encourage natural behaviors and stimulate the mind. Bubbles, sheets, paper bags, barrels, puzzle feeders, and a variety of scents are just a few of the more than 200 creative items the zoo uses for ape enrichment. The major threat to the orangutans of Sumatra and Borneo is the development of palm oil plantations. Palm oil for our consumption is harvested in the last remaining home of wild orangutans. The severe decline of orangutan populations is a direct result of destruction of habitat, leading to starvation, and the deliberate killing of orangutans who venture onto palm oil plantations. Fifty percent of the Sumatran orangutan population has disappeared in the last eight years; some experts predict that the palm oil industry will drive orangutans to extinction within a decade. The Anderson-Foothill Branch will also host a special program in conjunction with the exhibit: Bornean Orangutans August 3 ● 7:00 p.m. Hogle Zoo's primate zookeeper, Kalyn McKenzie, discusses wild Bornean orangutans and the zoo's training and enrichment program for its four orangutans. Come learn what you can do to help these amazing, endangered animals. |
