I just wanted to pass along some info that I found out this morning. The OI Season 1 DVD is due for release on Aug. 19th!!! Yippppeeee!!!!!!!!!

Oops! Forgot to add this info came from Orangutan Outreach and you can email info@redapes.org for details or to be put on a waiting list. This is what was in the newsletter I received:

Orangutan Island: Season 1 DVD

The DVD of Season 1 of 'Orangutan Island' is scheduled for release on August 19th. Email for details or to be put on the waiting list.

Season 2 is currently in production and scheduled to premier this fall. As soon as we know the air dates we'll post them on the website. Keep checking back!

I can not wait till the new season, it feels like forever since it was on last, I hope the time passed has brought good fortune to the orphans. Thank you for the info Rainey.

I have a question...will any of the proceeds go to Orangutan Islan?? thanks

Hi pawlaw,

I would say yes, that if you order the DVD through Orangutan Outreach, the proceeds would benefit the orangutan rehabilitation centers. Please send an email to info@redapes.org to confirm. I adopted an orangutan through their adoption program and was fortunate to be able to speak to the director, Richard Zimmerman, he is a very nice person and very dedicated to saving orangutans. He will most likely be the person that will respond to you. I noticed that the DVD will also be available on Amazon, but I will definitely order my copy through Orangutan Outreach.

to Rainy2: thanks for the info and the email address...I will contact them and find out......

Sorry Rainey 2, I misspelled your name....

Hi imas,

I also hope that the orphans have had good fortune as well!

I didn't consider the fact that ordering it from Orangutan Outreach might result in donation.

I do agree, that Richard is a very nice guy. He personally responded to a couple e-mails I sent them. It's nice hearing from a fellow Orangutan fanatic.

Any news on Season 2? My Friday nights have been so empty the past few months... I've filled them with research and letter writing. I write to companies that sell or make products containing palm oil (pretty much everything does...) and encourage them to make sure they get their palm oil in an environmentally friendly manner. And then I include 2 or 3 pictures of young Orangutans.
