Orangutan population loss over the years
The total population of orangutans has been predictced to have at least halved within the last 50 years. The population numbers vary a lot between different studies, but the extremity of the population decline is undeniable.
Total population
120 yrs ago (early 1900s): Over 315,000
50 yrs ago (early 1970s) ā 257-325,000
25 yrs ago (1990s) ā 155,000-204,000
Now ā 70,000 - 119,000.
Sumatran orangutans
While there are more remaining than previously thought, the Sumatran orangutan is critically endangered and only exist in North Sumatra.
Population:
120 yrs ago (early 1900s): Over 85-90,000
75 yrs ago (early 1940s) ā 70,000
60 yrs ago (1960s) ā 27,000
Now ā 13,846
Bornean orangutans
The Bornean orangutan population has been estimated to have lost 148,500 individuals in the 16 years between 1999 and 2015, which is likely more than over 140% of the entire current population of Bornean orangutans, if not much more.
Population:
120 yrs ago (early 1900s): Over 230,000
50 yrs ago (early 1970s) Over 200,000
25 yrs ago (1990s) ā Over 200,000
Now ā 55,000-104,000.
Tapanuli orangutans
The Tapanuli orangutan is the rarest of the three species, with less than 800 individuals remaining. They are now only found in a small area, Batang Toru, south of Lake Toba in Sumatra, but this is only 10-20% of the range they had 200 years ago. Their population is steadily increasing, but still at huge risk.
Population: approximately 767.
All orangutan species are critically endangered and have been rapidly declining due to killing (for illegal pet trade and food) and deforestation (primarily palm oil).

Okay, you guys know the drill but Iām gonna ask that you please not skip over this post. Iāll make it up to you with cool little factoids every so often. Like that some hummingbirds literally migrate across an ocean. Thatās fucking insane, theyāre so small.
Anyway
My name is Ari. Iām a queer trans DID system and I have multiple disabilities and conditions that overlap and make my life a living hell. I am completely unable to hold any type of typical job due to the fact that I cannot hold my body upright for extended periods, stand for more than a few minutes, and am in constant severe pain.
>>Pain facts: 1) Yelling words that you usually reserve for certain situations (like expletives) when you hurt yourself has been shown to help you handle pain. 2) Itās possible to get the worldās shittiest high from your own brainās chemicals due to its overproduction of the feel good sauce to try and counteract severe prolonged pain. Found that out the hard way.
Anyway!
Usually I manage okay off of my two partnersā income and whatever commissions I can get, but the three of us have just moved to a new state, which is great for us in the long run since weāll finally all be far from our families, but their new jobs are withholding pay for weeks. There are a lot of house repairs desperately needed, including in-depth cleaning due to trace amounts of cat dander in some rooms that I have a hypersensitive anaphylactic allergy to. We need money to eat and get gas, and to get my medications until my Medicaid switches states. On top of that, our previous landlord is trying to illegally charge us for almost $1000 of ādamagesā which are all things that were present at our move-in, but they conveniently lost they paperwork saying so. Weāre fighting it, but we wonāt be able to afford a lawyer if they escalate.
>>Fact break: Cats purr to heal themselves! The frequency at which they vibrate when purring promotes healing.
Anyway, that brings me to the point where I ask you guys for help.
Please, PLEASE commission me. For all of my limitations in ability, I am still an incredible artist, and Iām skilled in a wealth of mediums and crafting skills. Whatever it is you want, I can probably create it for you. Here is a link to my commission post, and you can contact me about commissions through tumblr or through email at
[email protected].
And if you donāt want anything, but just want to help, or like my blog and want to chip in, you can donate too. Anything you can spare helps. Please just message me about your preferred way to do so and Iāll give whatever you need to do it.
And if you canāt help financially: please reblog this post! The more people that see it, the more likely it is that we can get some help!
Thank you so much for reading. Snails have one lung which is connected directly to the outside via a hole, and in giant African land snails, this hole is big enough that you can actually look inside the snailās lung.
Have this picture of my parrot and a wonderful day.

Rise my army
Listen my army,
Hear my voice
Heed my call!
For I, Loki, call to thee.
*
I smell your fear,
I see the tears in your eyes,
I hear your wailing screams,
I feel the agony in your bones,
And I taste the blood you are longing for.
*
They kicked me down,
Threw me of my throne,
Betrayed and used me,
Tortured and left to die.
*
But I,
Loki Laufeyson,
Bringer of Chaos,
Sower of Discord,
Silvertong,
The trickster,
God of Mischief,
I am not what they made me.
*
No matter how hard they kicked me down,
I got up.
It doesnāt matter they stole my throne,
I arose a king.
I donāt care they betrayed and used me,
For it only made me stronger.
I was tortured and left to die,
But I rose from the ashes like a Phoenix.
*
I see you,
I hear you,
I feel you,
And know this,
You are not alone.
*
You are my army.
You are the dwellers in the night,
The lonesome rangers,
The forgotten.
The ones who were bullied,
Lied to,
Betrayed,
And tortured.
The ones who got left behind,
As was I.
*
But,
Have I taught you nothing?
Did my story fall on deaf ears?
Are you so blind?
Have you learned nought from my legacy?
Because when I look at you,
The things I see in you all,
It gives me all the power in the universe to bring it down on itself!
*
My children, see what I see.
You are the agents of Mischief,
You are the guardians of my realm,
The ones who stand strong,
Those who cheat death,
Who survive,
Those who get up,
Children of Chaos,
Bringers of justice,
*
Keepers of my heartā¦
*
And thatās why I call to thee.
Fight with me,
But do not dwell things that have been.
Dry your tears.
Do not wail in despair,
But lift your head high.
March with me,
For I am, and always will be, your king.
*
It doesnāt matter what names they gave me or you,
It doesnāt matter how they told my story or yours,
It doesnāt matter that they spat on me and you,
Made us bleed,
Hurted us,
Or ripped our hearts out.
For I am the prince of fire,
The God of Mischief!
And you are my army,
Proud children of a God!
*
Kneel for me,
And I will give you the universe.
Stand with me,
And we will rise above all!
*
LOKIāS ARMY,
MY ARMY,
I COMMAND YOU TO RISE!!!

TATTOO PSA
SO I HAVE NEVER ONCE SEEN A POST LIKE THIS. AND OBVIOUSLY TATTOO ARTISTS ARENāT GOING TO MENTION IT. BUT I FEEL LIKE THIS IS IMPORTANT INFORMATION.
IF YOU ARE A RECOVERING SELF HARMER AND ARE PLANNING ON GETTING A TATTOO, YOU NEED TO BE PREPARED FOR THE HEALING PROCESS TO BE VERY SIMILAR TO THAT OF CUTS. WHICH CAN BE EXTREMELY TRIGGERING.
THE SCABS ARE SUPER SIMILAR ESPECIALLY IF YOUāRE GETTING WRITING OR FINE LINES. AND IT ITCHES JUST LIKE HEALING CUTS DO. I FEEL LIKE THIS NEEDS TO BE MENTIONED. NO ONE REALLY TOLD ME AND I GOT A HUGE REALITY CHECK THIS MORNING.
THAT IS ALL
