Thinkers of the Jungle: The Orangutan Report

Published by Ullman and written by journalist, Gerd Schuster, the book presents an exceptional insight into the way of life of a unique and very special endangered species based on the latest research on the subject. We all recognise these highly intelligent and impressive animals - orangutans. But very few people know anything about how they live and their habits. Around 6,000 of these animals die every year; they are among the world’s most endangered species. This book reveals the plain truth, and the tragedy of what is happening in the jungles of Borneo and Sumatra becomes apparent to all. The breathtaking and moving photographs cannot fail to trigger a strong emotional reaction on the part of the reader.

The publisher Herbert Ullmann visited Dr. Willie Smits in Borneo and showed just how impressed he was by his efforts and great success: “There are books that can be published, and books that have to be published. Thinkers of the Jungle belongs unequivocally to the latter category."
