HABITAT RUNNING OUT FOR RE-INTRODUCING ORANGUTANS
Habitat running out for re-introducing orangutans
As the rainforests of Indonesia disappear, more and more orangutans are ending up in resuce and rehabilitation centres.
Here the apes are cared for, injured healed and some are released back into the wild in protected areas. However, the amount of suitable forest for re-introduction is rapidly running out.
Over 2,000 orangutans are currently being cared for by rescue centres and more enter the system every day, primarily as a result of deforstestation for the oil palm industry.
An estimated 60,000 orangutans remain in the wild but at current rates of deforestation in their strongholds of Sumatra and Kalimantan (both regions of Indsonesia) their extinction in the wild is predicted in the near future.
The amount of available orangutan habitat in Kalimantan has declined by 50% since 1992 and since 1975 Sumatra has lost 90% of its forest cover.
