Let's make this birthday one to remember.

78 years old (Born on May 10, 1946)

Happy Birthday, Dr. Biruté Galdikas! You've spent decades swinging gracefully through the jungles of Indonesian Borneo, befriending orangutans and unraveling their secrets. Your dedication has not only enlightened us about these gentle giants but also inspired countless others to protect our furry orange cousins.

From groundbreaking research to tireless conservation efforts, your life's work is truly ape-solutely remarkable! May your birthday be filled with joy, laughter—and perhaps a banana cake or two—surrounded by friends who appreciate you almost as much as your beloved orangutan family does. Here's wishing you many more years of adventures in the treetops!
