Orangutan – FAQ
An orangutan is a large primate native to the rainforests of Borneo and Sumatra. Known for their distinctive reddish-brown hair and long arms, orangutans are highly intelligent and spend much of their time in trees.
Orangutans are endangered due to habitat loss, primarily from deforestation and illegal logging. Palm oil plantations also contribute significantly to their diminishing habitat. Poaching and the illegal pet trade further threaten their survival.
Orangutans communicate through a variety of vocalizations, gestures, and facial expressions. They use long calls to establish territory and attract mates. Young orangutans often learn from their mothers by observing and imitating their actions.
Orangutans are vital to their ecosystem as seed dispersers. By eating fruit and excreting seeds throughout the forest, they help maintain the diversity and health of their habitat. Their presence indicates a balanced and thriving ecosystem.
Supporting sustainable palm oil products and organizations dedicated to conservation can make a significant impact. Raising awareness about the threats orangutans face and advocating for stronger environmental policies are also crucial steps in ensuring their survival.
