Help Send My Cousin to Borneo to Save the Orangutans

My cousin Chris has been an animal lover from the start.  I loved visiting his family when I was a kid because his room always had the coolest animals in it.  After a degree from Laurentian for Zoology and Biology, he moved to Australia to teach Biology in a high school near Brisbane.  He has spent his life bringing awareness to animals and it is time that he got some recognition for it.

He has applied to be a part of a team sent by DeforestAction to spend five months in Borneo saving the orangutans and filming a 3D documentary about the experience.  More information about the project can be found here: http://gg.tigweb.org/tig/deforestaction/

With all the experience Chris has had working with animals, it would be easy to say that he will get to go, no doubt about it.  But unfortunately, only the 10 contestants with the most votes on the DeforestAction contest page will get to go.  All I ask is that you take 5 minutes out of your day to go to http://gg.tigweb.org/cgaut5/52301 and watch Chris' audition video (listen for the Australian accent he's picked up!).  Then sign up for an account and vote for him 3 times (the maximum).  Voting ends this Sunday, April 10th, 2011, so please find the time!
