Show Notes

Every person who has ever been fascinated by an orangutan (or an ape, or gorilla or other amazing large primate) in the zoo will be drawn to this conversation. Jack D is an 8th grader from New Hampshire who is on a mission to get the orangutan off the endangered species list and to inspire kids and adults to care about our planet and all of the many endangered species on it.

To purchase Jack's children's book, Kawan the Orangutan: Lost in the Rainforest, or to learn more, check out www.kidconservationist.com or Jacks YOUTUBE channel of the same name. Follow him @kidconservationist.
