i'm still thinking about the orang-utan adoption on WWF... i guess the only real thing that's holding me back is the fact that it's in US dollars... and that i keep getting the feeling that donating such a small amount won't help anything, since it's in Indo, where the destruction is happening really rapidly and the govt is really not interested in the conservation of wildlife anyways...
i know it's better than not doing anything at all... but even if i do 'adopt' and get the free orang-utan doll to 'acknowledge' wat i did, i'll feel sorta guilty, that i'm 'enjoying' the fact that i have this cute doll and not doing anything to help the real thing... it's a bit like going on and on about how cute leopards are and then buying a fur coat or something...
of course i know it's not to that extreme.. but still, i think that it feels wrong...
well, i'll just 'promote' the website so whoever that might be reading this could donate or something...
and u can see in the pic that there's other animals that you can choose to adopt, the orang-utan just happens to be the one needing the most help (u can only adopt the lowland gorilla, not the mountain gorilla, whose numbers in the wild are something like 700)...
and the doll is really cute isn't it? it makes the donating process less 'real' i guess... it kinda hides the genuine intention to really help the species... but oh well, at least it's working (at least with me anyways)
ok, on a less depressing note... look at these cute panda pics from the july 2006 edition of National Geographic magazine titled "Panda Inc." i want the mag!
