13. Five minutes of nearly destroyed nature. (+Gibbons)
1 year ago
Enjoy or cry. Last moments of a singing or is it talking 'White Handed Gibbon'. Indonesia and Malaysia (Borneo) destroy about 51 square kilometers of Gibbons habitat every day, equivalent to 300 football fields every hour. The world's fastest destroyer of forests including these Gibbons and many other apes, monkeys (Proboscis Monkey, Orang Utan), Pygmee Elephants, Birds and many more. I think this beautiful creature, talks with his far away neighbour ape.
Gibbons are (lesser) apes not monkeys!
Guess what they are talking about.....

Thank you for the message, it passes very well.
Ultimamente estoy subiendo mis videos a Vimeo por varias razones... Espacio, calidad de imagen, etc... pero también hay un motivo adicional: Se está creando una comunidad interesante de "editores y creadores" de videos, en la que se comparten, se envian y anuncian sus creaciones unos a otros, de una forma mucho más tranquila que en YouTube.
Hace algunos minutos, he recibido un correo electrónico de otro usuario de Vimeo, Jan van der Meer, que al parecer le gustaron mis videos de Producciones Irreductibles y se subscribió a mi canal en Vimeo... Por su parte, me envia uno de sus videos, que me ha parecido realmente impactante y que aquí posteo para dejar cinco minutos de reflexión...
Now I'm uploading my video to Vimeo for several reasons: Space, Cuality of images, etc... but there's another aditional reason: There is a interesting comunity of editors and video creators, who share, announce and upload videos, in a "pacific" way, more than YouTube.
A few minutes ago, I recibe a mail-message from another vimeo user, Jan van der Meer, who perhaps take a look to my videos of Producciones Irreductibles, y send me on of his videos, who look very impressive and I share here to give five minutes of reflexion...
More or less... My english it's worst than I think, but I hope you can understand this horrible translation :)
lol
De buitengewone en zeer waardevolle scènes, het geluid is uitstekend en over het geheel genomen, een grote video. Met de gibbon bovenop de boom is opmerkelijk.
With babelfish.yahoo.com/translate_txt you can translate almost anything to anything...
Reid above said: "Beauty, Tragic" ... indeed it is!
What can we do???
the sound is incredible what type of mics did you use?
I have never before seen them react to something so strongly.
Sent shivers up my spine....
What can we do IS the question?
When you're up against something as powerful as MONEY....co's that's what it comes down to.
Where there is profit involved, no voice, not even the Gibbons is loud enough to be heard above the chainsaws.
It makes me sick to my stomach.
Thank you so much and other Vimians (Vimeoists, Vimeosi, Vimeall) for your hartwarming replies.
As videographer you and I have a gift to tape the remaining beauty and show what is going on now or even produce some clips which make people think.
We don't really need supporting music just the right and good nature sounds. (BTW I use the Tomrig)
If your dogs start crying when they hear the gibbon sing or talk, as moviemaker my haert is also bouncing and hands iching to do something with that.
So I've got an idea which could be nice to all who read this and want to join in. So....
Please please make a tape of your dogs infront of your tube speakers and please put it on Vimeo.
Vimeoists can make their own ape/dog transilation underneath it! In Holland we also watch shows with gifted presentators who can understand what animals are saying and feel, so we can ask them also for a transilation.
I am sure TV shows will broadcast it or will be interested. So in the subtitles you or we can produce an imaginary transilation. You like the idea???
As a true Animal Planet fan we all love nature and animals. Its also ideal to improve your photographer skills. AP dicovered that too and organized a serial about wildlife videographers.
This clip is part of a new serial I'm making in between my work, my aim is a contribution to show the world what next generations (our children) will be missing soon because of local short term policy thinking and of course greed. We hope that some local politician behind his desk or his partner and children will see clips like this on Vimeo or YT and starts thinking because they will notice another important income on tourism is declining now. Tourists don't like oil palm plantations where no animallive is seen. So thats why we went 2 years ago to Borneo and got as many footage (and sound) of the highly endangered Proboscis Monkey (just this one to concentrate on) can't do them all endangered species!. Read all about it on proboscismonkey.org Thanks for your support and time and please please produce that clip asap!
Kind regards
Jan
Just discovered your beautiful video. My heart cries !
If you allow it I will link people to this video through our website primateshelpingprimates.
If you like it have a look at my videos about the baby orangutans at Nyaru Menteng, the rescue centre from the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation.
This year at Samboja Lestari I heard the gibbons singing every morning and evening !
It will be a very sad world when we lose these magnificent creatures.
Jean are you French or Dutch? Saw you on a photo in Holland! My goal is another Borneo citizen the Proboscis Monkey with the huge nose! The neighbour of your OrangUtan with the Dutch name: Orang Belanda. See my participation at proboscismonkey.org
After several trips to Indonesia I started a foundation called PrimatesHelpingPrimates. We support the projects of the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation, founded in 1991 by Willie Smits, a Dutch forest engineer.
I will look at your proboscis site. These creatures are also magnificent. I think you know the film "Biggest nose in Borneo" !
Keep in touch.
Keep up the good work ! Hope to see many more videos from you
Like orangutans and many other animals in Asia gibbons are in serious problems. We should ask all air companies to hand out a flyer to any tourist visiting countries were animals are being exploited.
To make a picture of yourself with an endangered animal is disgusting !
When will the world wake up ?
Impressive. IMHO unfortunately you did only add sound of the chainsaw, it appears a bit artificial.
Your point is (very) clear though.
There is never to much attention for these issues!
ben Indonesich in Nederland verder in het engels ..
really brakes my heart knowing this that we're human destroying our nature for our needs without limits
i start already bout one month consuming without products that contains palm oil even bread, butter, shampoo, soap, tooth paste etc... and always read and knowing the products before i'm buying it
cause these natures are really victims for human idiocy :)
let's save them by not buying and consuming the products which are palm oil contained "read the ingredients label"
i think you should edit your video it's not Indonesia who destroy the forest but the big companies who need palm oil supplies and they are mostly not Indonesian but western companies :)
