As a group of nerds/geeks I assume we are (mostly) familiar with the works of Terry Pratchett. He was my favourite author, had a lot of time for orangutan conservation and managed to sneak quite a lot of animal based references in to his books.
He'll be dearly missed by myself and all of his other fans around the world.
