"Black velvet" - Alannah Myles
Alannah is in the spotlight, sitting on a flight case they've put on stage, one leather-clad leg lifted to show big energy. She wears a leather jacket, and a blouse-ish top beneath. Wild and frizzy black hair, an attitude. She's too cool to look directly at the camera, just gives a side-eye and keeps looking where she damn well wants to look.

da domani, 19 marzo, al museo di roma in trastevere: “frigidaire. storia e immagini della più rivoluzionaria rivista d’arte del mondo”
https://www.museodiromaintrastevere.it/mostra-evento/frigidaire
19/03 – 07/09/2025 Museo di Roma in TrastevereIn mostra le immagini più spettacolari e le tante celebri figure artistiche apparse sulle pagine di Frigidaire, rivista fondata nel 1980 da Vincenzo Sparagna, Stefano Tamburini, Filippo Scozzari, insieme ad Andrea Pazienza, Tanino Liberatore e Massimo Mattioli.
Un’avanguardia culturale, unica nel suo genere, che attraversava trasversalmente arte, satira, musica, politica, letteratura, filosofia, fumetto e giornalismo.
L’esposizione – a cura di Vincenzo Sparagna e Frigolandia – vuole essere soprattutto occasione per riscoprire un progetto originale di racconto totale della contemporaneità, capace di esplorare, nella sua radicale libertà d’espressione, le trasformazioni culturali e sociali dagli anni ’70 fino ad oggi.
FRIGIDAIRE Storia e immagini della più rivoluzionaria rivista d’arte del mondo ospita dunque svariati esempi di Arte Maivista, definizione creata da Andrea Pazienza e Vincenzo Sparagna per indicare quell’arte imprevista, multipla, alta, bassa, media, pop e anti-pop, inventata, e pubblicata, dal 1977 in poi dalle riviste come Frigidaire, Cannibale, Il Male, Frìzzer. Queste riviste, tutte al principio originali esperimenti autonomi, sono divenute poi, non solo in Italia, dei modelli di comunicazione altra per l’originalità dei loro autori e collaboratori e dei loro trasversali contenuti.
La mostra, nell’intento di raccontare a un target vasto e trasversale la storia di Frigidaire, comprende oltre trecento opere: numeri iconici, copertine, tavole originali, grafiche, fotografie. Un percorso che raccoglie tutta la storia attraverso la grafica, le fotografie e i reportage che raccontano e ne attestano l’esperienza culturale che ha coinvolto e ancora coinvolge generazioni diverse. Un viaggio itinerante attraverso cui conoscere la storia di Frigidaire e del suo mondo che non smette mai di stupire, sfuggendo a qualsiasi banale classificazione. Una storia composta soprattutto da tutte le sue diverse anime: fumetti, grafiche ma anche reportage da tutto il mondo.
Trastevere e il suo museo segnano inoltre un ritorno alle origini, in quanto la rivista Il Male, nella quale si formò gran parte del nucleo redazionale di Frigidare, nasceva proprio in via della Penitenza.
Frigidaire esce in edicola nel novembre 1980. I fondatori sono il direttore Vincenzo Sparagna e i cinque fumettisti di Cannibale, Stefano Tamburini, creatore della prima gabbia grafica di Frigidaire, Andrea Pazienza, Filippo Scozzari, Massimo Mattioli e Tanino Liberatore. Il gruppo si è formato tra il 1978 e il 1980 nella redazione del settimanale satirico Il Male, celebre, tra le tante imprese, per l’invenzione di clamorosi falsi di giornali italiani e stranieri. Frigidaire allarga lo spazio di libertà conquistato con il Male, non è una rivista di settore o di genere, unisce cronaca e fiction, fumetti e reportage, letteratura, cinema, musica, teatro, satira e fotografia. Inoltre è una rivista aperta alle più diverse energie creative: da subito ai fondatori si aggiungono, dall’Italia e dal mondo, moltissimi collaboratori e collaboratrici, autori di fumetti e disegni, fotografi, reporter, scrittori, artisti. Segni, immagini e testi che raccontano, nei più diversi, e a volte sconosciuti, aspetti, le culture e le lotte sociali, politiche ed estetiche degli anni ’80 e poi dei ’90, fino alle straordinarie novità del 2000 e alle vicende tempestose degli ultimi decenni. Accanto a Frigidaire il gruppo ha creato nel tempo anche altre riviste: Frìzzer (1985/86), Tempi Supplementari (1985/86), Vomito (1985/94), Il Lunedì della Repubblica (1990/91), Il Nuovo Male (1995/96), La piccola Unità (2001/02) fino alla nuova serie de Il Nuovo Male dal 2011 ad oggi. Nel 2005 Frigidaire ha lasciato Roma e trasferito la redazione in Umbria, dove Sparagna ed altri hanno fondato in una ex Colonia vuota nel Comune di Giano dell’Umbria, la Repubblica di Frigolandia, terra di Frigidaire e città dell’Arte Maivista, il movimento immaginario seriamente beffardo creato nel 1985 su Frìzzer da Pazienza e Sparagna commentando gli inclassificabili disegni di quest’ultimo e l’arte di Frigidaire in generale. Dopo la nascita di Frigolandia, Frigidaire è tornato a uscire come una “rivista popolare d’elite di Arte Maivista” sempre diretto da Sparagna con la decisiva collaborazione alla grafica dell’artista Maila Navarra e la partecipazione di molti giovani talenti. La rivista è andata in edicola fino al 2017. Da allora, chiusa la maggioranza delle edicole, è distribuita solo agli abbonati o a chi ne fa richiesta. Molti fumetti e reportage di Frigidaire sono stati tradotti in paesi europei ed extraeuropei, dalla Francia alla Svezia, dal Brasile al Giappone, dagli Usa alla Grecia ecc. Negli ultimi anni mostre ed altre iniziative di Frigolandia si sono tenute in diverse città italiane. Nel 2017 l’Università di Yale ha acquistato per la sua Beineke Library una parte dell’archivio storico di Frigidaire e tutte le pubblicazioni del gruppo dagli anni ’70 in poi.
Un progetto vivo e che si rinnova grazie ai giovani che hanno partecipato a Frigidaire negli anni più recenti, specie dopo la fondazione in Umbria della Repubblica di Frigolandia, terra di Frigidaire, Museo/Laboratorio dell’Arte Maivista e redazione attuale della rivista. Questa durata nel tempo, pur difficile e piena di avventure, non è stata casuale, perché Frigidaire è stata concepita sin dal principio come una moderna Enciclopedia Illuminista cosmopolita, un’Antropologia del presente esplorata usando ogni tipo d’espressione e di linguaggio: racconto, cronaca, arte, fumetto, fotografia, musica, video.

PdM 2025: il piglio di gennaio
Buon anno, prodi seguaci!🥂
Anche quest’anno vi delizierò – spero – con il Piglio dal Mucchio, l’iniziativa che mira a smaltire la mia infinita lista degli acquisti. Al momento sono un po’ in difficoltà, almeno sul lato ebook, perché è andato giù un server che ospitava parecchi dei miei acquisti su Bookrepublic e quindi sono impossibilitata a scaricarne la maggior parte – quando si dice di salvarsi subito gli ebook in ogni dove perché non si sa mai…
Quindi mentre aspetto che le CE sistemino questo casino, ho guardato un po’ cosa ho disponibile e penso proprio che mi butterò su due romanzi di Pierre Louÿs, giusto per iniziare l’anno in maniera frizzantina con dei classici della letteratura erotica.
Il primo libro pigliato è Aphrodite, del quale avevo letto un articolo molto interessante che aveva acceso la mia curiosità, ma figuriamoci se sono riuscita a ritrovarlo. In ogni caso, non so bene cosa aspettarmi se non del dramma e una concezione bizzarra dell’antichità classica – ma qualcunə si sorprende di trovarla in un romanzo erotico del 1896?
Descrizione: “[…] Vedremo mai tornare i giorni di Efeso e di Cirene? Ahimè! Il mondo moderno soccombe sotto un’invasione di bruttezza. Le civiltà risalgono verso nord, entrano nella nebbia, nel freddo, nel fango. Che notte! Un popolo vestito di nero circola per le strade infette. A che pensa? Non lo si sa più; ma i nostri venticinque anni rabbrividiscono all’idea di essere esiliati tra i vecchi. Perlomeno, che sia permesso a coloro che per sempre rimpiangeranno di non aver conosciuto quella giovinezza inebriante della terra, che noi chiamiamo la vita antica, che sia permesso loro di rivivere, grazie a un’illusione feconda, i tempi in cui la nudità umana, la forma più perfetta che possiamo conoscere e anche concepire, poiché la crediamo fatta a immagine di Dio, poteva svelarsi sotto la figura di una cortigiana sacra, davanti ai ventimila pellegrini che affollavano le spiagge di Eleusi; dove il più sensuale degli amori, l’amore divino da cui siamo nati, era senza sporcizia, senza vergogna, senza peccato; che sia loro permesso dimenticare diciotto secoli barbari, ipocriti e brutti, di risalire dalla palude alla sorgente, di ritornare devotamente alla bellezza originale, di ricostruire il Grande Tempio al suono dei flauti incantati e di consacrare con entusiasmo ai santuari della vera fede i cuori sempre posseduti dall’immortale Aphrodi”
Il secondo libro pigliato è Figlie di tanta madre, che promette di essere il romanzo più trasgressivo di Louÿs in quando critica dissacrante della famiglia borghese e in odore di essere pure in parte autobiografico.
Descrizione: Figlie di tanta madre è il romanzo più duro e trasgressivo di Pierre Louÿs (1870- 1925) «Scostata la tenda della camera da letto, che sarebbe più esatto definire un bordello,» scrive Alberto Capatti nella postfazione che accompagna questa nuova edizione «ecco apparire i protagonisti di questo libro che, secondo Louÿs, non è un romanzo, ma vita vissuta: un giovanotto e una signora di trentaquattro anni con le sue tre figliole, tutte giovani, tutte bellissime, tutte in fregola, tutte assolutamente decise a contendersi o a dividersi, in perfetto accordo sororale, il sopraddetto e provatissimo giovane stallone. Segue la Storia vera come avrebbe potuto scriverla Luciano di Samosata, cioè orgiastica e delirante. Tra prestazioni erotiche del tutto particolari e tableaux vivants che hanno dell’incredibile, la signora Teresa e le sue saffiche fanciulle recitano così la parodia della famiglia, demolendola e demolendo, oltre al giovanotto, la sacra moralità borghese». Pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1992, più volte ristampato, Figlie di tanta madre, rappresenta uno dei più grandi classici dell’erotismo del Novecento.
Eccoci qua! Come avete iniziato questo 2025? Spero bene e spero che, oltre a tante belle cose, vi porti anche tante letture piacevoli.
A presto!📚

Has Britain fallen out of love with tea? Consumption in the U.K. is now one-quarter of what it was in the 1970s. That might not be entirely to do with changing tastes: The price of a packet of 80 tea bags has increased by 11 percent in a year, thanks to climate change. For inews.co.uk, Nell Frizzell writes about the complicated relationship between Brits and tea. "It is tempting to see the death of tea as somehow symbolic of the end of a particular type of Britishness. A nostalgic version of the nation held in cricket clubs and church halls, in tea dances and doilies," she writes. "But it is also possible to see the adoption of tea as a part of British history that was, at times, inglorious, undignified and harmful." We want to know, what's your favorite hot drink?

Buongiorno dalla @EU_Commission e questa volta è una buona notizia perché è stato raggiunto un accordo su CRA e l'ultima versione prevede un'esenzione per il software open source e le piccolissime imprese, e inoltre è stato accantonato anche il Chat Control quindi per ora tutto bene!
Eppoi andiamo a dire qualcosa di frizzante su Google Chrome e Linda Yaccarino.
A poi, ciao.

ドラゴンクエスト ダイの大冒険 (2020年版)
第46話「極大消滅呪文メドローア」を視聴。定例の土曜朝実況だけど、 #小松未可子生誕祭 を兼ねて。
サブタイの通りポップの修業回だけど、あえてマァムの滝修業に注目させて頂いた。
短いけどこのシーン大好き。もちろん、ポップとの軽妙なやりとりも含めての話です。ところで「スピードアップすれば破壊力は増す」理論を根拠とした特訓は的確なものだったとして。
この特訓あってこそオリハルコンを拳で砕くことが可能となり、アルビナスとも互角にやり合うことができた。「組み技の仕掛け」もオリハルコン兵への対策だったのだろうか。
オリハルコン兵に投げ締めなどが効くとは思えないけど、ミストマァム形態では実際、格闘が得意なはずのヒムの首を極めていた様にみえる。
マァムおそるべし。

Il nuovo numero della rivista di disegno Fukt è dedicato all’ignoto
"Si sente spesso consigliare il disegno come “utensile” per provare a orientarsi nei territori oscuri, come strumento terapeutico capace di aiutare a mappare i propri viaggi nell’inconoscibile. [...] Ma il disegno può anche guidarti oltre i margini — del foglio, della coscienza, dell’intelligibile — ed è lì che conduce il nuovo numero della rivista Fukt."

Tesori d’archivio: i poster cinematografici di Eric Rohman
"[...] Nel numero di giugno del 1921, Das Plakat dedicò un lungo articolo — a firma del giornalista svedese Guido Valentin — a Eric Rohman, connazionale dello stesso Valentin e, a detta sua, l’unico artista che in quel periodo, in Svezia, si dedicava a tempo pieno ai manifesti cinematografici."

Silly hat post!
Had this running hat for 20 years and still serves me well. One thing I deplore is replacing something that is perfectly usable for vanity reasons. Hopefully it will last another 20! It may even outlive me!
10km in the frizzin’ cold on the frosty pavements in a tiddle over an hour. 146m / 479ft elevation gain.

A vanishing and oft-ignored #ecosystem, vital for coastal safety and #biodiversity: littoral forest, here in Little Andaman island. Past a strip of sandy beach with coral rubble, a bright green skirt of Scaveola tuccada hems a frizzy waistline of Hibiscus tiliaceus, rising into trunk and canopy of a phalanx of sea mahua Manilkara littoralis, interspersed with Elaeocarpus rugosus #trees. #oceans #coasts #india #Andamans

I've read some of the Magic School Bus books.
"In 1984, writer Joanna Cole and artist Bruce Degen met at the New York City offices of Scholastic to discuss creating a new children’s book about science. They have since published 16 colorful, zany books featuring Ms. Frizzle and her magic school bus."

La Lucha Real de No Encajar en las Categorías: Cuando Tu Belleza No Tiene Manual 📚✨
Retrato de una joven con auriculares blancos, destacando su cabello rizado y su maquillaje natural
.
Anuncios¿Alguna vez has sentido que no encajas en ninguna de las categorías «típicas» de belleza? 🤔 Si estás aquí es porque probablemente sabes exactamente de qué hablo. Hoy vamos a hablar de algo súper real: crecer con rasgos que no están bien definidos y por qué es más complicado de lo que la gente piensa.
🌪️ El Drama del Cabello «Indefinido»
Cuando Tu Pelo No Sabe Qué Quiere Ser
Okay, empezemos con el tema del cabello mixto o indefinido porque ¡wow! 😩 Todo el mundo habla del cuidado para:
- Cabello lacio ✨
- Cabello rizado/chino 🌀
- Cabello ondulado 〰️
Pero, ¿qué pasa cuando tienes cabello grifo, quebrado o una mezcla de texturas? Pues que te quedas sin referencias, sin tutoriales específicos y básicamente tienes que convertirte en tu propia científica capilar 🧪
La Realidad del Pelo Rebelde
Con este tipo de cabello literalmente tienes que:
- Experimentar con mil productos diferentes 💸
- Equivocarte un montón de veces (y llorar un poquito) 😭
- Volver a intentar hasta que encuentras LA fórmula mágica ✨
- Dominar tu propia textura única 💪
Las Técnicas que Cambian el Game 🎯
Pero aquí viene lo CLAVE: dominar las técnicas de peinado es literalmente la diferencia entre:
- Parecer que acabas de salir de la cama (y no en el buen sentido) 😴
- Tener un cabello que se ve intencional y con estilo ✨
Mi Rutina Game-Changer (Y Súper Sencilla) 💫
Después de años de prueba y error, encontré MI fórmula mágica que es MIL veces mejor que productos carísimos:
Pre-tratamiento (CLAVE): Antes de bañarme uso aceites naturales que voy alternando:
- Aceite de linaza 🌱
- Aceite de ajonjolí
- Aceite de uva 🍇
Los voy rotando para que mi cabello no se acostumbre a uno solo. Este paso es GOLD para nutrir antes del lavado ✨
El proceso de lavado:
- Recién lavado aplico leaving (ese primer paso es clave) 💧
- Crema de peinar – y aquí viene mi secreto: Herbal Essences para cabello chino con jazmín 🌸 (Esta cremita es GOLD, no expensive pero funciona increíble)
- Sellador de puntas o aceite para proteger y dar brillo ✨
El toque mágico – Mi spray casero: A veces uso acondicionador co-wash y luego mi spray secreto:
- 1 parte de vinagre
- 4 partes de agua aprox 💧
- Mis vinagres favoritos: de frambuesa y de arroz 🍇🍚
Este spray balancea el pH y deja el cabello súper suave y brillante. Trust me on this one 🙌
- Y aquí viene lo bueno: TUBOS DE CABELLO 🌀
La Técnica de los Tubos (Modo Doña Florinda) 👵🏻💅
Okay, sé que se ve muy de abuelita, pero guys… FUNCIONA 🙌
- Entre más tiempo los uso, mejor resultado
- Al otro día amanezco con cabello dominado, sin frizz
- Mucho volumen pero sin estar esponjado (ese balance perfecto) 💫
- Zero calor involved = cabello más sano
Real talk: Esta rutina completa hace más que mil productos caros y técnicas complicadas. Sometimes lo más simple es lo que mejor funciona 🤷♀️
Es un proceso súper frustrante pero al final te conviertes en expert@ de tu propio cabello. Still, ¿por qué no hay más contenido para nosotros? 🤷♀️
💭 ¿Te Identificas Con Esta Lucha?
No Estás Sol@
. Y guess what? No estás sol@ en esto 🤗
La industria de la belleza están empezando a reconocer que no tod@s encajamos en las categorías tradicionales, pero aún queda mucho camino por recorrer.
Lo Que He Aprendido En Este Journey
- Tu belleza es única y eso es lo que la hace especial ✨
- Experimentar es parte del proceso – cada «error» te acerca más a conocerte 🧪
- No necesitas encajar en una categoría para ser válid@ 💪
- Tu experiencia importa y puede ayudar a otras personas que pasan por lo mismo 🤝
🗣️ Cuéntame Tu Experiencia
Remember: Tu belleza no necesita manual de instrucciones porque tú eres quien escribe las reglas 👑✨
¿Te gustó este post? Compártelo con alguien que también esté navegando por estas aguas indefinidas. Sometimes knowing que no estás sol@ es todo lo que necesitas 💕

La Lucha Real de No Encajar en las Categorías: Cuando Tu Belleza No Tiene Manual 📚✨
Retrato de una joven con auriculares blancos, destacando su cabello rizado y su maquillaje natural
.
Anuncios¿Alguna vez has sentido que no encajas en ninguna de las categorías «típicas» de belleza? 🤔 Si estás aquí es porque probablemente sabes exactamente de qué hablo. Hoy vamos a hablar de algo súper real: crecer con rasgos que no están bien definidos y por qué es más complicado de lo que la gente piensa.
🌪️ El Drama del Cabello «Indefinido»
Cuando Tu Pelo No Sabe Qué Quiere Ser
Okay, empezemos con el tema del cabello mixto o indefinido porque ¡wow! 😩 Todo el mundo habla del cuidado para:
- Cabello lacio ✨
- Cabello rizado/chino 🌀
- Cabello ondulado 〰️
Pero, ¿qué pasa cuando tienes cabello grifo, quebrado o una mezcla de texturas? Pues que te quedas sin referencias, sin tutoriales específicos y básicamente tienes que convertirte en tu propia científica capilar 🧪
La Realidad del Pelo Rebelde
Con este tipo de cabello literalmente tienes que:
- Experimentar con mil productos diferentes 💸
- Equivocarte un montón de veces (y llorar un poquito) 😭
- Volver a intentar hasta que encuentras LA fórmula mágica ✨
- Dominar tu propia textura única 💪
Las Técnicas que Cambian el Game 🎯
Pero aquí viene lo CLAVE: dominar las técnicas de peinado es literalmente la diferencia entre:
- Parecer que acabas de salir de la cama (y no en el buen sentido) 😴
- Tener un cabello que se ve intencional y con estilo ✨
Mi Rutina Game-Changer (Y Súper Sencilla) 💫
Después de años de prueba y error, encontré MI fórmula mágica que es MIL veces mejor que productos carísimos:
Pre-tratamiento (CLAVE): Antes de bañarme uso aceites naturales que voy alternando:
- Aceite de linaza 🌱
- Aceite de ajonjolí
- Aceite de uva 🍇
Los voy rotando para que mi cabello no se acostumbre a uno solo. Este paso es GOLD para nutrir antes del lavado ✨
El proceso de lavado:
- Recién lavado aplico leaving (ese primer paso es clave) 💧
- Crema de peinar – y aquí viene mi secreto: Herbal Essences para cabello chino con jazmín 🌸 (Esta cremita es GOLD, no expensive pero funciona increíble)
- Sellador de puntas o aceite para proteger y dar brillo ✨
El toque mágico – Mi spray casero: A veces uso acondicionador co-wash y luego mi spray secreto:
- 1 parte de vinagre
- 4 partes de agua aprox 💧
- Mis vinagres favoritos: de frambuesa y de arroz 🍇🍚
Este spray balancea el pH y deja el cabello súper suave y brillante. Trust me on this one 🙌
- Y aquí viene lo bueno: TUBOS DE CABELLO 🌀
La Técnica de los Tubos (Modo Doña Florinda) 👵🏻💅
Okay, sé que se ve muy de abuelita, pero guys… FUNCIONA 🙌
- Entre más tiempo los uso, mejor resultado
- Al otro día amanezco con cabello dominado, sin frizz
- Mucho volumen pero sin estar esponjado (ese balance perfecto) 💫
- Zero calor involved = cabello más sano

[https://www.ikebana.team/altrove-files/run1/]Introduzione
Che fine fanno i sogni? I miei sono piccoli ritagli dentro una consumata scatola
di cartone con un buffo ghirigoro, il cuore scarabocchiato di una bambina.
Ho tradito quella bambina il giorno in cui sono rimasta in questo paese che
pretende di essere una comunità di devoti cristiani, ma in verità è lacerato da
decenni di faide tra le famiglie. Passo i giorni in attesa che questo buco
dimenticato dal Mondo decida finalmente di autodistruggersi, anche se
inconsciamente ho la sciocca speranza in un miracolo, in una seconda possibilità
per poter essere finalmente felici.SINOSSI

L'agreste comunità di Xanadu è impegnata con l'organizzazione della Festa dei
Buoni Propositi.
Il clima è frizzantino, ravvivato dai dissidi tra le famiglie e dal carattere

Tapanuli Orangutan Pongo tapanuliensis
Tapanuli Orangutan Pongo tapanuliensis
IUCN Red List: Critically Endangered
Locations: Found only in the Batang Toru Ecosystem in North Sumatra, Indonesia.
The Tapanuli #Orangutan Pongo tapanuliensis is the most endangered #greatape species on Earth, with fewer than 800 individuals surviving in the wild. Listed as Critically Endangered by the IUCN, they are confined to a tiny mountainous area of primary rainforest in the Batang Toru Ecosystem #Indonesia. Their survival is threatened by relentless industrial expansion—#hydroelectric dams, gold mines, geothermal projects—and vast deforestation for palm oil and rubber plantations. As a keystone species, their survival is vital to the entire ecosystem. We must act urgently to protect them. #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife
Just 800 Tapanuli Orangutans remain alive due to #palmoil and #mining #deforestation. If you find their imminent #extinction a disgrace 😡‼️ – there’s something you can do! #BoycottPalmOil 🌴☠️🚫 #Boycott4Wildlife @palmoildetect https://palmoildetectives.com/2021/01/19/tapanuli-orangutan-pongo-tapanuliensis/

Share to BlueSky Share to TwitterAppearance and Behaviour
With expressive faces and a deep orange coat, the Tapanuli Orangutan shares similarities with their Sumatran Orangutan and Bornean Orangutan cousins, but they are genetically and physically distinct. They possess frizzier hair, smaller skulls, flatter faces, and a more prominent moustache. Adult males have uniquely shaped flanges and emit a long call that is subtly different from other orangutans, showing acoustic divergence linked to genetic isolation.
Tapanuli Orangutans live solitary lives or in small, loose social groups. They are primarily arboreal, building elaborate sleeping nests in the forest canopy each night. Recent drone studies by Rahman et al. (2025) confirmed their high canopy preference, and the use of thermal sensors detected individuals invisible to the human eye. These shy forest dwellers avoid human presence and vanish into the dense trees with startling ease.
Diet
Dietary studies from the Tapanuli Orangutan Research Station (Arief & Mijiarto, 2024) recorded 91 plant species consumed, including fruits, young leaves, flowers, bark, and insects. While fruit forms the core of their diet, they also consume termites and other invertebrates when fruit is scarce. Figs, durians, and forest fruits are critical seasonal food sources, and loss of these plants due to palm oil plantations may lead to starvation.
Reproduction and Mating
Tapanuli Orangutans have an extremely slow reproductive rate. Females give birth once every 6–8 years after a gestation of 8.5 months. Infant orangutans remain with their mothers for up to 9 years, learning complex forest survival skills. This slow life history makes them exceptionally vulnerable—losing even a few individuals per year could doom the entire species. Population viability studies predict an 83% decline over three generations without immediate intervention (Wich et al., 2016).
Geographic Range
Once found across a vast swathe of southern Sumatra, the Tapanuli Orangutan now survives in only three isolated forest blocks of the Batang Toru Ecosystem—just 1,500 km². Only 10% of this is formally protected. Historical records suggest they once roamed as far south as Jambi and Palembang, but massive deforestation and human persecution have erased them from most of their former range. Their current habitat is dissected by roads, mines, and farmland.
Threats
The Tapanuli Orangutan was until relatively recently more widespread, with sightings further south in the lowland peat swamp forests in the Lumut area (Wich et al. 2003) and several nests encountered during a rapid survey in 2010 (G. Fredriksson pers. obs.). The forests in the Lumut area have in recent years almost completely been converted to oil-palm plantations.
Agro-industrial Expansion for Palm Oil and Rubber
The most significant threat to the Tapanuli Orangutan (Pongo tapanuliensis) is the relentless conversion of their highland forest habitat into industrial monocultures—particularly palm oil plantations, but also rubber and coffee. A 2024 study highlighted how forest clearance for oil palm, coffee, and rubber cultivation in the Batang Toru Ecosystem has devastated vital orangutan habitat, triggering migration into village gardens and escalating human-orangutan conflict (Lesmana et al., 2024). Wich et al. (2016) further underscore that nearly 14% of the orangutan’s range lacks any form of protection and is especially vulnerable to conversion. Entire lowland forest systems, such as those in the Lumut area, have been obliterated and replaced with palm oil plantations. The habitat loss is not only large-scale but also permanent, given the legal backing often enjoyed by agribusiness in Sumatra.
Infrastructure Development: Hydroelectric dams, roads and gold mining
A controversial Chinese-funded hydropower project threatens to destroy 10% of the Tapanuli Orangutan’s population. Located in the highest-density area of their range, the project will fragment habitat and block genetic flow for Tapanuli Orangutans and make the population vulnerable to collapse (Wich et al., 2019; Lesmana et al., 2024).
Gold and silver mining operations have already cleared approximately 3 km² of orangutan habitat and continue to expand. Compounding these threats, newly constructed roads have opened up previously inaccessible areas, accelerating both forest encroachment and illegal wildlife trade. As highlighted in the Floresta Ambient study (2024), such development has profoundly altered orangutan behaviour, pushing them into conflict with nearby communities.
Illegal Logging and Land Speculation
Despite the 2014 reclassification of parts of the Batang Toru forest from production to protection status, logging continues under outdated or contested permits. One company retains a 300 km² logging permit that cuts through primary orangutan habitat (Wich et al., 2016).
This deforestation is often driven by speculative land grabbing, with companies clearing forest to increase the value of land holdings. Encroachment is further driven by economic migrants, particularly from Nias Island, who settle in these unallocated forests due to lack of land tenure regulation. These migrants frequently convert forested land to agriculture, directly encroaching upon orangutan territories and escalating poaching and human-wildlife conflict (Samsuri et al., 2023).
Human-Orangutan Conflict, Illegal Hunting and the Illegal Pet Trade
Hunting poses a severe and often overlooked threat to the Tapanuli Orangutan. Conflict killings occur when orangutans forage in fruit trees or crops near villages, with some individuals shot with firearms or air rifles during crop conflict. With such a small population, every death is devastating. Orangutan infants are often trafficked for the exotic pet trade after their mothers are killed. According to Wich et al. (2012), the species’ slow reproductive rate makes any loss of adult females—particularly those with offspring—catastrophic for population viability.
The Floresta Ambient (2024) study documents that fruit-bearing trees in village gardens are a primary attractant for orangutans, intensifying seasonal conflict. Despite laws prohibiting the capture and trade of orangutans under CITES Appendix I, enforcement remains weak, and the trade persists.
Take Action!
We are at a tipping point. Only decisive action will save the Tapanuli Orangutan:
- Boycott palm oil every time you shop – learn more here.
- Oppose and resist destructive hydroelectric projects like the Batang Toru dam.
- Support local conservation groups and indigenous-led protection of the Batang Toru forest.
- Demand a moratorium on mining and infrastructure projects in orangutan habitat.

FAQs
How many Tapanuli orangutans are left in the wild?
The Tapanuli orangutan (Pongo tapanuliensis) is the rarest great ape on Earth, with fewer than 800 individuals remaining in the wild. This species is confined to a single, highly fragmented population in the Batang Toru Ecosystem of North Sumatra. According to Wich et al. (2016), the total area of suitable habitat is just over 1,000 km², making their population extremely vulnerable to stochastic events, inbreeding, and continued habitat degradation. A 75-year population viability analysis predicted a staggering decline from ~1,489 individuals in 1985 to just 257 by 2060 without urgent intervention (Wich et al., 2019).
Surveys using innovative thermal drone technology in 2023 confirmed that detection rates are consistent between aerial and ground methods, affirming the grim reality of their numbers (Rahman et al., 2025). With extremely low reproduction rates (a female produces one offspring every 7–9 years), any mortality has a profound impact on population dynamics. The population’s isolation and the lack of genetic exchange further endanger its viability, pushing the species closer to extinction unless dramatic changes are made to protect and connect its remaining habitat (Nater et al., 2017).
How long do Tapanuli orangutans live?
In the wild, Tapanuli orangutans are believed to live approximately 30 to 40 years, with some individuals possibly reaching 50. In captivity, individuals can live up to 60 years when protected from threats and given regular medical care. However, data specific to Pongo tapanuliensis are limited, as they have only recently been recognised as a separate species (Nater et al., 2017). Like other great apes, their slow reproductive cycle means that females generally give birth once every 7–9 years, and juveniles remain dependent on their mothers for up to 8 years. This slow life history leaves them especially vulnerable to population crashes when faced with increased mortality from hunting, habitat loss, or conflict (Wich et al., 2019).
The longevity of these apes in the wild is severely compromised by anthropogenic threats. Conflict with humans over fruiting crops, road construction, and the development of hydropower dams has placed increasing stress on their ecosystem, reducing not only the lifespan of individuals due to direct killings but also the carrying capacity of their habitat. Without the intact rainforest necessary to support their dietary and nesting needs, lifespans are likely to decline further, particularly for juvenile apes displaced or orphaned by habitat destruction (Samsuri et al., 2023).
Why are Tapanuli orangutans disappearing?
Tapanuli orangutans are being driven to extinction by a lethal cocktail of deforestation, infrastructure development, mining, poaching, and habitat fragmentation. Between 1985 and 2007, lowland forest habitat below 500 m was reduced by 60% due to palm oil plantations, road construction, and smallholder agriculture (Wich et al., 2016). These losses have accelerated in recent years, with one of the most devastating developments being the Batang Toru hydroelectric dam, which threatens to sever key corridors connecting their small subpopulations and destroy 10% of their core habitat (Rahman et al., 2025).
In addition, illegal killings are rising due to human-orangutan conflict, especially where crops like durians and jackfruit attract hungry apes into village fields. Surveys in the Dolok Sipirok region found that most conflicts occurred on the edge of forest areas where agriculture has expanded, resulting in economic losses for local people and retaliation killings of orangutans (Floresta Ambient, 2024). These apes are also at risk from trafficking—juveniles are captured for the pet trade, and their mothers are often killed in the process. As these apes only give birth once every 7–9 years, even the loss of a few individuals each year can rapidly collapse the population.
Are Tapanuli orangutans affected by palm oil plantations?
Yes, palm oil expansion is one of the most significant threats to the Tapanuli orangutan’s survival. Forest clearance for palm oil plantations has already wiped out entire swathes of their historic range, especially in the lowland areas of Lumut. These forests were once part of their known distribution, but have now been almost entirely replaced by monocultures of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) (Wich et al., 2016; Nater et al., 2017). Such plantations are ecologically barren for orangutans, offering no food, nesting sites, or safety, while exposing them to poaching and conflict with humans.
The construction of roads and industrial developments linked to palm oil has fragmented orangutan habitat, making it harder for individuals to move safely between feeding and nesting areas. This fragmentation reduces genetic diversity and increases the risk of inbreeding, which has already been detected in Tapanuli orangutan genomes (Nater et al., 2017). Beyond habitat loss, palm oil plantations bring human settlements, increased hunting, and indirect threats like noise pollution and chemical runoff. As seen across Sumatra and Borneo, the palm oil industry’s unchecked expansion continues to destroy the last refuges for Asia’s great apes, including the critically endangered Tapanuli orangutan.
Is poaching and illegal trade still a problem for Tapanuli orangutans?
Absolutely. Despite national and international protection, Tapanuli orangutans are still poached, particularly in areas where they forage on cultivated fruit trees, triggering conflict with farmers. According to Samsuri et al. (2023), human-wildlife conflict is one of the strongest predictors of orangutan mortality in the region. Infants are especially at risk from the pet trade; mothers are frequently killed to take babies alive. These infants are then smuggled and sold illegally, often under the guise of ecotourism or exotic pet ownership.
Lack of enforcement is a major factor behind the persistence of illegal trade. While Indonesia has laws against orangutan capture and trade, penalties are rarely enforced and often misunderstood by local communities (Lesmana et al., 2024). Furthermore, conservation areas are often poorly monitored. Forest edge communities facing economic hardship may view orangutans as pests or potential profit. Unless conservation is led by local people and grounded in economic alternatives to poaching and deforestation, the illegal killing of orangutans will continue unchecked.
Can drones help monitor their numbers?
Yes. A 2023 drone study (Rahman et al., 2025) showed thermal drones are effective in detecting orangutans through dense canopy, offering a non-invasive tool for population monitoring.

Tapanuli Orangutan Pongo tapanuliensis
Tapanuli Orangutan Pongo tapanuliensis
IUCN Red List: Critically Endangered
Locations: Found only in the Batang Toru Ecosystem in North Sumatra, Indonesia.
The Tapanuli #Orangutan Pongo tapanuliensis is the most endangered #greatape species on Earth, with fewer than 800 individuals surviving in the wild. Listed as Critically Endangered by the IUCN, they are confined to a tiny mountainous area of primary rainforest in the Batang Toru Ecosystem #Indonesia. Their survival is threatened by relentless industrial expansion—#hydroelectric dams, gold mines, geothermal projects—and vast deforestation for palm oil and rubber plantations. As a keystone species, their survival is vital to the entire ecosystem. We must act urgently to protect them. #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife

Share to BlueSky Share to TwitterAppearance and Behaviour
With expressive faces and a deep orange coat, the Tapanuli Orangutan shares similarities with their Sumatran Orangutan and Bornean Orangutan cousins, but they are genetically and physically distinct. They possess frizzier hair, smaller skulls, flatter faces, and a more prominent moustache. Adult males have uniquely shaped flanges and emit a long call that is subtly different from other orangutans, showing acoustic divergence linked to genetic isolation.
Tapanuli Orangutans live solitary lives or in small, loose social groups. They are primarily arboreal, building elaborate sleeping nests in the forest canopy each night. Recent drone studies by Rahman et al. (2025) confirmed their high canopy preference, and the use of thermal sensors detected individuals invisible to the human eye. These shy forest dwellers avoid human presence and vanish into the dense trees with startling ease.
Diet
Dietary studies from the Tapanuli Orangutan Research Station (Arief & Mijiarto, 2024) recorded 91 plant species consumed, including fruits, young leaves, flowers, bark, and insects. While fruit forms the core of their diet, they also consume termites and other invertebrates when fruit is scarce. Figs, durians, and forest fruits are critical seasonal food sources, and loss of these plants due to palm oil plantations may lead to starvation.
Reproduction and Mating
Tapanuli Orangutans have an extremely slow reproductive rate. Females give birth once every 6–8 years after a gestation of 8.5 months. Infant orangutans remain with their mothers for up to 9 years, learning complex forest survival skills. This slow life history makes them exceptionally vulnerable—losing even a few individuals per year could doom the entire species. Population viability studies predict an 83% decline over three generations without immediate intervention (Wich et al., 2016).
Geographic Range
Once found across a vast swathe of southern Sumatra, the Tapanuli Orangutan now survives in only three isolated forest blocks of the Batang Toru Ecosystem—just 1,500 km². Only 10% of this is formally protected. Historical records suggest they once roamed as far south as Jambi and Palembang, but massive deforestation and human persecution have erased them from most of their former range. Their current habitat is dissected by roads, mines, and farmland.
Threats
The Tapanuli Orangutan was until relatively recently more widespread, with sightings further south in the lowland peat swamp forests in the Lumut area (Wich et al. 2003) and several nests encountered during a rapid survey in 2010 (G. Fredriksson pers. obs.). The forests in the Lumut area have in recent years almost completely been converted to oil-palm plantations.
IUCN Red ListAgro-industrial Expansion for Palm Oil and Rubber
The most significant threat to the Tapanuli Orangutan (Pongo tapanuliensis) is the relentless conversion of their highland forest habitat into industrial monocultures—particularly palm oil plantations, but also rubber and coffee. A 2024 study highlighted how forest clearance for oil palm, coffee, and rubber cultivation in the Batang Toru Ecosystem has devastated vital orangutan habitat, triggering migration into village gardens and escalating human-orangutan conflict (Lesmana et al., 2024). Wich et al. (2016) further underscore that nearly 14% of the orangutan’s range lacks any form of protection and is especially vulnerable to conversion. Entire lowland forest systems, such as those in the Lumut area, have been obliterated and replaced with palm oil plantations. The habitat loss is not only large-scale but also permanent, given the legal backing often enjoyed by agribusiness in Sumatra.
Infrastructure Development: Hydroelectric dams, roads and gold mining
A controversial Chinese-funded hydropower project threatens to destroy 10% of the Tapanuli Orangutan’s population. Located in the highest-density area of their range, the project will fragment habitat and block genetic flow for Tapanuli Orangutans and make the population vulnerable to collapse (Wich et al., 2019; Lesmana et al., 2024).
Gold and silver mining operations have already cleared approximately 3 km² of orangutan habitat and continue to expand. Compounding these threats, newly constructed roads have opened up previously inaccessible areas, accelerating both forest encroachment and illegal wildlife trade. As highlighted in the Floresta Ambient study (2024), such development has profoundly altered orangutan behaviour, pushing them into conflict with nearby communities.
Illegal Logging and Land Speculation
Despite the 2014 reclassification of parts of the Batang Toru forest from production to protection status, logging continues under outdated or contested permits. One company retains a 300 km² logging permit that cuts through primary orangutan habitat (Wich et al., 2016).
This deforestation is often driven by speculative land grabbing, with companies clearing forest to increase the value of land holdings. Encroachment is further driven by economic migrants, particularly from Nias Island, who settle in these unallocated forests due to lack of land tenure regulation. These migrants frequently convert forested land to agriculture, directly encroaching upon orangutan territories and escalating poaching and human-wildlife conflict (Samsuri et al., 2023).
Human-Orangutan Conflict, Illegal Hunting and the Illegal Pet Trade
Hunting poses a severe and often overlooked threat to the Tapanuli Orangutan. Conflict killings occur when orangutans forage in fruit trees or crops near villages, with some individuals shot with firearms or air rifles during crop conflict. With such a small population, every death is devastating. Orangutan infants are often trafficked for the exotic pet trade after their mothers are killed. According to Wich et al. (2012), the species’ slow reproductive rate makes any loss of adult females—particularly those with offspring—catastrophic for population viability.
The Floresta Ambient (2024) study documents that fruit-bearing trees in village gardens are a primary attractant for orangutans, intensifying seasonal conflict. Despite laws prohibiting the capture and trade of orangutans under CITES Appendix I, enforcement remains weak, and the trade persists.
Take Action!
We are at a tipping point. Only decisive action will save the Tapanuli Orangutan:
- Boycott palm oil every time you shop – learn more here.
- Oppose and resist destructive hydroelectric projects like the Batang Toru dam.
- Support local conservation groups and indigenous-led protection of the Batang Toru forest.
- Demand a moratorium on mining and infrastructure projects in orangutan habitat.

FAQs
How many Tapanuli orangutans are left in the wild?
The Tapanuli orangutan (Pongo tapanuliensis) is the rarest great ape on Earth, with fewer than 800 individuals remaining in the wild. This species is confined to a single, highly fragmented population in the Batang Toru Ecosystem of North Sumatra. According to Wich et al. (2016), the total area of suitable habitat is just over 1,000 km², making their population extremely vulnerable to stochastic events, inbreeding, and continued habitat degradation. A 75-year population viability analysis predicted a staggering decline from ~1,489 individuals in 1985 to just 257 by 2060 without urgent intervention (Wich et al., 2019).
Surveys using innovative thermal drone technology in 2023 confirmed that detection rates are consistent between aerial and ground methods, affirming the grim reality of their numbers (Rahman et al., 2025). With extremely low reproduction rates (a female produces one offspring every 7–9 years), any mortality has a profound impact on population dynamics. The population’s isolation and the lack of genetic exchange further endanger its viability, pushing the species closer to extinction unless dramatic changes are made to protect and connect its remaining habitat (Nater et al., 2017).
How long do Tapanuli orangutans live?
In the wild, Tapanuli orangutans are believed to live approximately 30 to 40 years, with some individuals possibly reaching 50. In captivity, individuals can live up to 60 years when protected from threats and given regular medical care. However, data specific to Pongo tapanuliensis are limited, as they have only recently been recognised as a separate species (Nater et al., 2017). Like other great apes, their slow reproductive cycle means that females generally give birth once every 7–9 years, and juveniles remain dependent on their mothers for up to 8 years. This slow life history leaves them especially vulnerable to population crashes when faced with increased mortality from hunting, habitat loss, or conflict (Wich et al., 2019).
The longevity of these apes in the wild is severely compromised by anthropogenic threats. Conflict with humans over fruiting crops, road construction, and the development of hydropower dams has placed increasing stress on their ecosystem, reducing not only the lifespan of individuals due to direct killings but also the carrying capacity of their habitat. Without the intact rainforest necessary to support their dietary and nesting needs, lifespans are likely to decline further, particularly for juvenile apes displaced or orphaned by habitat destruction (Samsuri et al., 2023).
Why are Tapanuli orangutans disappearing?
Tapanuli orangutans are being driven to extinction by a lethal cocktail of deforestation, infrastructure development, mining, poaching, and habitat fragmentation. Between 1985 and 2007, lowland forest habitat below 500 m was reduced by 60% due to palm oil plantations, road construction, and smallholder agriculture (Wich et al., 2016). These losses have accelerated in recent years, with one of the most devastating developments being the Batang Toru hydroelectric dam, which threatens to sever key corridors connecting their small subpopulations and destroy 10% of their core habitat (Rahman et al., 2025).
In addition, illegal killings are rising due to human-orangutan conflict, especially where crops like durians and jackfruit attract hungry apes into village fields. Surveys in the Dolok Sipirok region found that most conflicts occurred on the edge of forest areas where agriculture has expanded, resulting in economic losses for local people and retaliation killings of orangutans (Floresta Ambient, 2024). These apes are also at risk from trafficking—juveniles are captured for the pet trade, and their mothers are often killed in the process. As these apes only give birth once every 7–9 years, even the loss of a few individuals each year can rapidly collapse the population.
Are Tapanuli orangutans affected by palm oil plantations?
Yes, palm oil expansion is one of the most significant threats to the Tapanuli orangutan’s survival. Forest clearance for palm oil plantations has already wiped out entire swathes of their historic range, especially in the lowland areas of Lumut. These forests were once part of their known distribution, but have now been almost entirely replaced by monocultures of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) (Wich et al., 2016; Nater et al., 2017). Such plantations are ecologically barren for orangutans, offering no food, nesting sites, or safety, while exposing them to poaching and conflict with humans.
The construction of roads and industrial developments linked to palm oil has fragmented orangutan habitat, making it harder for individuals to move safely between feeding and nesting areas. This fragmentation reduces genetic diversity and increases the risk of inbreeding, which has already been detected in Tapanuli orangutan genomes (Nater et al., 2017). Beyond habitat loss, palm oil plantations bring human settlements, increased hunting, and indirect threats like noise pollution and chemical runoff. As seen across Sumatra and Borneo, the palm oil industry’s unchecked expansion continues to destroy the last refuges for Asia’s great apes, including the critically endangered Tapanuli orangutan.
Is poaching and illegal trade still a problem for Tapanuli orangutans?
Absolutely. Despite national and international protection, Tapanuli orangutans are still poached, particularly in areas where they forage on cultivated fruit trees, triggering conflict with farmers. According to Samsuri et al. (2023), human-wildlife conflict is one of the strongest predictors of orangutan mortality in the region. Infants are especially at risk from the pet trade; mothers are frequently killed to take babies alive. These infants are then smuggled and sold illegally, often under the guise of ecotourism or exotic pet ownership.
Lack of enforcement is a major factor behind the persistence of illegal trade. While Indonesia has laws against orangutan capture and trade, penalties are rarely enforced and often misunderstood by local communities (Lesmana et al., 2024). Furthermore, conservation areas are often poorly monitored. Forest edge communities facing economic hardship may view orangutans as pests or potential profit. Unless conservation is led by local people and grounded in economic alternatives to poaching and deforestation, the illegal killing of orangutans will continue unchecked.
Can drones help monitor their numbers?
Yes. A 2023 drone study (Rahman et al., 2025) showed thermal drones are effective in detecting orangutans through dense canopy, offering a non-invasive tool for population monitoring.
