This fifty-word story, Mankind's Shame, falls into the word restriction and sounds the alarm about deforestation and the multiplying effects that come with it.

    Mankind is already paying for its misdoings..Mother Nature is striking back
    but we still keep on exploiting our planet and our fauna.
    Thanks for finding time to review my short essay .

A-w-w-w-wwww...
Poor little fella.
I put this kind of greed right up there with killing an entire elephant or rhino just for its ivory tusks.
It is deplorable behavior and mankind ought to know better!

    What a cute gif .. Sadly one of the many orphaned orangutans with out doubt.

    The rhinos , the elephants and the orangutans will end up like the dodo...

    ....by now mankind should have understood that exploiting its planet and its fauna will only bring humanity to the brink of extinction one day too.

    Thank you so much for sharing your view and for the shiny 6 star vote.

Hello there, my friend. First I must say the picture is so darn adorable, he looks like he posed for the photo. lol. This is a terrific entry for the contest, it's such a shame what people are doing to the rainforests. This promotes a great awareness of what happening to the wildlife there. Nicely done! I wish you luck! ~Kerry

    It's sad but ,despite there are people /centers trying to save these wounded , hungry , orphaned
    Orangutans ,
    the companies behind this cruel reality have no intention to stop....their greed knows no limits .

A wonderful write about a great topic. I've watched a couple of documentaries here in Germany about the mistreatment of orangutans and their destroyed habitat.

A fabulous write with a relevant topic.
