38. Borneo Trip Recap and Q&A with Richard: Orangutan Conservation, Canon R5 Wildlife Set Up, How to Sleep on a Plane and More

50 min • 23 juni 2023

On this episode of Beyond The Lens, I'm sharing my recent experience in Borneo, Indonesia: the rainforest, the photographic challenges the rainforest creates, and the "persons of the forest," the orangutans.

I talk about the existential threats that orangutans face caused by deforestation and loss of habitat due to development and palm oil plantations.

You can help keep orangutans from extinction by buying products using environmentally sustainable palm oil with the RSPO label or donating to organizations like Save The Orangutan, whose mission is to save and protect the critically endangered orangutan and its last remaining habitats in Borneo and to raise national and international awareness of the severe deforestation threatening the orangutan's future existence.

I also answer a few of your questions submitted via social media, including how to sleep on a plane, the best settings for wildlife on my Canon R5, my most embarrassing moment as a photographer, and more.
