Teach the orangutans to harvest palm fruit.

  On a more serious note, there is usually nothing for orangs to eat. If they aren’t killed by the construction crew, they migrate to find food. There is one guy who built a polyculture date palm farm. Date palms, some brambly tree to keep megafauna out, and I forget the rest of the plant species. Except it was habitable by orangs, and semi protected.

      I think so yes. I did not learn about him from TED but I found it later. The moment where he tells the audience to stop clapping for him might be the most respect I’ve gained for anyone in two seconds flat.
