    The orangutan population in Indonesia and Borneo has declined drastically, with only around 41,000 remaining in Borneo and 7,500 in Sumatra, as people cut down forest trees for land and kill orangutans for bush meat and medicine, while climate change increases risks of forest fires; conservation efforts aim to protect orangutan habitats by reducing deforestation and poaching.

    Endangered Animal Species

    Orangutan
    By Nadira
    The orangutan lives in North Sumatra in Indonesia, its population are around 41,000 in
    Borneo and 7,500 in Sumatra. Orangutan lives in the lowlands forest. There used to be
    more than 230,000 orangutans in total, but the Bornean orangutan decreased t o around
    45,000 to 69,000 and the Sumatran are around 7,500 they are critically endangered. Many
    people cut down the trees in the forest, which makes it harder for Orangutan to find its
    shelter. Not only that, but the climate change may lead the rainforest on large forest fires.
    Orangutans also got killed for their bush meats and medicines by people in Borneo and
    Sumatra. To save Orangutan people have to cut less trees in the forest and stop killing
    orangutans.
