Dr. Francine Neago is a [[Primatology|primatologist]] and [[Conservation biology|conservationist]] specializing in orangutans. In addition to her internationally televised films about orangutans she has published several scientific papers in the Journal of [[Primatology]] ([[New York]]). In 2006 she co-authored a book on humans raising an orphaned orangutan [http://www.uturatpublishing.com/orangutan-loving-home.htm].
While at [[UCLA]] between [[1978]] and [[1989]] she developed a [[computer]] system in conjunction with [[IBM]] later used by the [[Conservation_and_Research_Center|Smithsonian National Zoo]] to teach language to orangutans [http://nationalzoo.si.edu/Animals/ThinkTank/ResearchProjects/OLP/default.cfm], and organized and directed the world's first [[orangutan]] [[language]] study. With the aid of a computer, she taught an [[ape]] named Bulan [[English language]] arts, [[sign language]] and a method she devised for spelling in a [[phonetic alphabet]]. [[Encyclopedia Britannica]] first listed her language program in [[1988]] [http://www.orangutanlanguage.com/cv.html].
Born in [[Paris]] and originally trained as a general practitioner in [[medicine]], she studied the behavior and language of [[Hominidae|Great Apes]] at [[Indonesia]]'s [[Surabaya]] Zoological Park from [[1965]] to [[1977]]. At that time she also volunteered as a park [[veterinarian]], founded and operated a free medical clinic and hospital for 10 years, and pioneered a number of relief projects for Indonesian people. In 1977 she lived for six months inside a cage at the [[Singapore Zoo]] with eighteen orangutans to study their [[Ethology|behavior]] and communication.
Between [[1978]] and [[1989]] she lectured in primatology at UCLA, and in [[1980]] she organized the rehabilitation of [[chimpanzee]]s from cages in laboratories to the [[Lion Country Safari]] in [[Florida]]. Between [[1990]] and [[1995]] she rehabilitated local wildlife in the [[jungle]] of [[Costa Rica]], and from [[1996]] to [[1997]] she organized a site for the rehabilitation of [[Endangered species|endangered wildlife]] while living in a private [[zoo]] in [[Riau]] Province in [[Sumatra]].
Dr. Neago has lectured worldwide, speaks and writes in [[French language|French]], [[English language|English]], [[Malay]], [[Spanish language|Spanish]], [[Italian language|Italian]], [[Serbo-Croatian]] and signs in Ameshan sign language.
