It is important to take a moment and reflect upon how much has happened since that first edition. The first is always the most dif- ficulty: to find the people, the articles, and the resources to reach a printed publication. The intention of such a legal publication is to start a professional conversation about the area of animal law. Hundreds of pages later it is clear that much success has been realized by the Journal. This publication has been critical to the development of animal law within Brazil. As my website, www.animallaw.info, has electronically published all the volumes of this Journal, a few things can be noted. This Journal is the longest running and most professional animal law Journal published anywhere in the world outside the United

  • Language and the Orang-Utan: the Old 'Person' of the Forest*
    Language and the Orang-utan: The Old 'Person' of the Forest* H. LYN WHITE MILES I still maintain, that his [the orang-utan] being possessed of the capacity of acquiring it [language], by having both the human intelligence and the organs of pronunciation, joined to the dispositions and affections of his mind, mild, gentle, and humane, is sufficient to denominate him a man. Lord J. B. Monboddo, Of the Origin and Progress of Language, 17731 If we base personhood on linguistic and mental ability, we should now ask, 'Are orang-utans or other creatures persons?' The issues this question raises are complex, but certainly arrogance and ignorance have played a role in our reluctance to recognise the intellectual capacity of our closest biological relatives - the nonhuman great apes. We have set ourselves apart from other animals, because of the scope of our mental abilities and cultural achievements. Although there were religious perspectives that did not emphasise our estrangement from nature, such as the doctrine of St. Francis and forms of nature religions, the dominant Judeo-Christian tradition held that white 'man' was separate and was given dominion over the earth, including other races, women, children and animals. Western philosophy continued this imperious attitude with the views of Descartes, who proposed that animals were just like machines with no significant language, feelings or thoughts. Personhood was denied even to some human groups enslaved by Euro-American colonial institutions. Only a century or so ago, scholarly opinion held that the speech of savages was inferior to the languages of complex societies. While nineteenth-century anthropologists arrogantly concerned themselves with measurements of human skulls to determine racial superiority, there was not much sympathy for the notion that animals might also be persons.

  • Impact of Human Activities on Cross River Gorilla Gorilla Gorilla Diehli Habitats in the Mawambi Hills, Southwest Cameroon
    Vol. 20: 167–179, 2013 ENDANGERED SPECIES RESEARCH Published online April 23 doi: 10.3354/esr00492 Endang Species Res Impact of human activities on Cross River gorilla Gorilla gorilla diehli habitats in the Mawambi Hills, southwest Cameroon Denis Ndeloh Etiendem1,2,*, Nikki Tagg2,3, Luc Hens4, Zjef Pereboom2 1Human Ecology Department, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Laarbeeklaan 103, Brussels 1090, Belgium 2Centre for Research and Conservation, Royal Zoological Society of Antwerp, Koningin Astridplein 26, Antwerp 2018, Belgium 3Projet Grands Singes (PGS), BP 5619 Nlongkak, Yaoundé, Cameroon 4Vlaamse instelling voor Technologish Onderzoek NV (VITO), Roderveldlaan 5, Antwerp 2600, Belgium ABSTRACT: Most forest habitats in Cameroon support villages whose inhabitants are heavily reliant on the forests for their everyday needs. We assessed the socio-economic status and natural resource use of 3 villages bordering Mawambi Hills, an unprotected forest in southwest Cameroon, home to both the Critically Endangered Cross River gorilla Gorilla gorilla diehli and the Endangered Nigeria-Cameroon chimpanzee Pan troglodytes ellioti. This forest likely hosts one of the largest sub-populations of Cross River gorillas in Cameroon and is vulnerable to human influence given that it lies in close proximity to surrounding villages and is less hilly than other Cross River gorilla habitats. We show that employment opportunities in surrounding villages are rare, and people rely on agriculture and the collection of non-timber forest products (NTFPs), such as eru Gnetum spp. and bush mango Irvingia spp., for food and income. We also show that areas of heavy human activity coincide spatially with great ape nest sites and raise concerns about the potential impact of human activities on great ape survival at the site.

  • Explorations of the Cultural Heritage Value of Hominid, Pongid, and Robotid Artifacts Dirk H
    International Journal of Cultural Property (2007) 14:241–266. Printed in the USA. Copyright © 2007 International Cultural Property Society DOI: 10.1017/S0940739107070075 A Line in the Sand? Explorations of the Cultural Heritage Value of Hominid, Pongid, and Robotid Artifacts Dirk H. R. Spennemann* Abstract: Although cultural heritage management is an inherently retrospective discipline, there is a need for strategic forward thinking. Too many valuable heritage places have been lost because they are not recognized and assessed in time. As cultural heritage management begins to examine modern structures and sites, this paper takes strategic thinking in cultural heritage management one step further and addresses the management of artifactual material created by our closest relatives, the great apes. Given the increasing understanding that chimpanzees have cultures and traditions in tool use, there is a need to recognize their heritage value in reference to human evolution. Expanding the concept of nonhuman heritage into the future, it is now also time to explore how to deal with the artifacts that the first artificial intelligence (AI)-imbued, self-reflecting robots will create. By extension, which artifacts will be kept along the way? The contemplation of the role of nonhuman heritage will ultimately foster a reappraisal of human heritage. The article outlines some of the conceptual issues that must be addressed if our heritage is to have an ethical future. INTRODUCTION Heritage is a human construct. In a broad conceptual framing, cultural heritage is the result of humankind’s interactions with their environment and one another. The outcome of these processes is reflected in a number of forms and is generally divided within two typologies of tangible (built environment, sites, landscapes, objects, and artifacts) and intangible cultural heritage (language, folklore, skills and customs, folklore, skills, and customs).1 This paper is only be concerned with *Institute of Land, Water and Society.

  • Conservation Ecology of Bornean Orangutans in the Greater Batang Ai- Lanjak-Entimau Landscape, Sarawak, Malaysia
    Conservation Ecology of Bornean Orangutans in the Greater Batang Ai- Lanjak-Entimau Landscape, Sarawak, Malaysia Joshua Juan Anak George Pandong Student ID: a1683422 ORCID ID: 0000-0001-7856-7777 A thesis submitted to attain the degree of MASTER OF PHILOSOPHY (SCIENCES) Department of Ecology and Environmental Science School of Biological Sciences Faculty of Sciences THE UNIVERSITY OF ADELAIDE SOUTH AUSTRALIA February 2019 in memory of Tok Nan Conservation ecology of Bornean orangutans in Sarawak Abstract The Bornean Orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus) is one of the three great ape species in Asia. P. pygmaeus is further divided into three subspecies based on their genetic divergence. These subspecies are also geographically apart from each other; with the Malaysian state of Sarawak having the least number of wild orangutans. In 2016, the threat level for the species was upgraded to ‘Critically Endangered’ under the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. The alarming upgrade was due to increased threats to the survival of the species in Borneo, mainly due to habitat degradation and forest loss as well as hunting. The actual orangutan numbers in the wild were still unclear despite the upgrade due to wide variance generated from various statistical methods or survey protocols used to estimate them. In Sarawak, the conservation efforts have been ongoing with the focus on preventing further population decline, habitat degradation and forest loss. The first step in this effort was to acquire baseline data on population estimates and distribution at the core habitats of Batang Ai-Lanjak-Entimau (BALE) where most of the viable orangutan populations are found in the State.

Hale J. Terrence McCabe ____________________ Date The final copy of this thesis has been examined by the signatories, and we find that both the content and the form meet acceptable presentation standards of scholarly work in the above mentioned discipline. iii Amir, Adam Pérou Hermans (Ph.D., Environmental Studies) Folk Filmmaking Thesis directed by Associate Professor Benjamin S. Hale Wildlife conservationists often come into conflict with local communities. To resolve conflict, conservationists conduct education and sensitization programs to raise awareness and teach the value of wildlife. This “missionary approach” raises issues of epistemic and social injustice. Just as conservation often requires local communities to relinquish sovereignty over land and natural resources, conservation education challenges local values and morality. Invited to produce conservation education media for communities living near the critically endangered Cross River gorilla (Gorilla gorilla diehli), I used the opportunity to pursue a more just method for moral debates over wildlife in contexts of unequal power and unshared cultures. For my dissertation, I designed, tested, and analyzed a form of participatory video production: “Folk Filmmaking.” Folk Filmmaking differs from ethnography. Instead of documenting local moral beliefs about wildlife, it provides an opportunity for locals to represent themselves.

Although I will never have enough (or the right) words to properly thank everyone who has supported, understood and enriched my life over the last couple of years, I hope this clumsy attempt demonstrates how much I appreciate all that everyone has done for me over the years. I will never be able to fully repay the incredible debt I owe to my parents. Without you, none of this would have been possible. Everyday I feel grateful to have been raised by such supportive, open-minded and intelligent people who taught me all I that I know. Everything I do, I do in an attempt to make you proud, as that is the only way I can envision to try to repay my debt. This PhD is for my father, who never stopped encouraging me to push a bit harder in everything I do, leading by example, and always being there for me when I thought I couldn’t go any farther.

  • The Orangutan
    eTropic 18.2 (2019) ‘Tropical Gothic: Literary and Creative Works’ Special Issue | 58 Cage 14: The Orangutan Christina Yin Swinburne University of Technology, Malaysia Abstract Cage 14: The Orangutan tells the true story of Bullet, the iconic and most well-known orangutan in Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo. The researcher-writer traces Bullet’s story from his infancy when he survives gunshot wounds and is named for the bullet removed from his head by a medical doctor, until his incarceration in Cage 14 at Semenggoh Wildlife Centre. It is the story of an orangutan who, in his youth, mimicked his keepers and forest guards, and who throughout his life, preferred the ground to the trees. This orangutan, who chose to stand upright on two legs with his arms folded across his chest, stands posed in such a way today, stuffed and immortalised in a glass display case at Matang Wildlife Centre where rescued and confiscated wildlife are brought to be treated and rehabilitated. Pieced together from interviews with individuals who interacted with Bullet, this creative non-fiction1 work is a gothic tale of an orangutan’s life at the mercy of his primate cousins, humans. Keywords: Orangutan, Gothic, Animal welfare, Creative non-fiction, Sarawak, Borneo, Tropics 1 Creative non-fiction is a hybrid genre involving fact and imagination. As Miller and Paola (2012) state, “Imagination coupled with facts form this hybrid genre that is both exciting and so challenging to write”. It is “an alive and evolving form of writing” (Prentiss & Willkins 2014). It includes immersion in societies and life experience such as what anthropologists do, and narrative journalism such as that written by George Orwell and Tracy Kidder (Perl & Schwartz 2014).
