Born Free Foundation | Orangutans on the brink @bornfreefoundation | Uploaded July 2020 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Orangutans are the largest tree-living mammal. They spend over 90% of their lives high up in the forest canopy, leading a peaceful and solitary existence.
Unfortunately, wild orangutan populations are under threat. There are thought to be fewer than 100,000 orangutans left in the wild, down from nearer 300,000 in the 1970s (IUCN).
Habitat loss due to palm oil production, logging and mining are pushing orangutans to the brink. Over the last 30 years, an estimated 80% of their habitat has been lost.
The Born Free-supported Orangutan Foundation is working in the rainforests of Indonesia Borneo to save and protect the world’s precious orangutans and their habitat.
