Scientists trekking through unexplored regions of the island of
Sumatra in Indonesia have uncovered a previously unknown
population of Sumatran orangutans. The discovery of the 8,000
giant apes is a boon for the critically endangered species,
bringing its estimated population up to more than 14,000.

"It was very exciting to find out that there are more Sumatran
orangutans than we thought, but this does not mean that we can
be complacent," Serge Wich of Liverpool John Moores University,
who led the published study, said in a statement. "Numerous
development projects are planned in the area that — if they are
not stopped — could sharply reduce the number of orangutans over
the coming years."

"Most white conservatives, formerly identifying as Democrats,
had shifted to the Republican Party. In the same period, given
support by the national Democratic Party to the civil rights
movement, most African Americans became Democrats."
