Sumatran orangutans like this male @RHZoo play a vital role in maintaining the health of their native forests. As frugivores, these apes act as gardeners, dispersing seeds over huge areas of land, helping many tree species thrive. #orangutan #male #gardener #protector #PhotoArk pic.twitter.com/EKuJ8UcEV5 — Joel Sartore (@joelsartore) December 18, 2019
His Samsonite rolling bag was reported missing when he was waiting at the airport's public commercial zone in the International Departure Terminal.

View this post on InstagramTo All Friends of the Photo Ark, Last Friday night at the Bali Airport, one of my pieces of carry-on luggage was stolen, a black Samsonite rolling bag. Unfortunately, the bag contained not only my computer, cameras, and passport, but also three hard drives that were loaded with images and videos of some of the world’s rarest animals. All were filmed during the past three weeks in Indonesia, an amazing country with incredible biodiversity. All were destined to become part of the Photo Ark. I need your help now to bring these hard drives home. No questions asked. Each is blue in color, either 1 TB or 2 TB, and are made by Silicon Power. An example is shown above. If you have any information that could lead us to these missing hard drives, please contact myself, the local authorities or my friends at Asa Film in Bali, phone +62 812 9829 8109 Thank you, Joel Sartore
