Orangutan Conservation

       This blog was made to bring awareness to orangutan conservation. Orangutans have three species, all of which are endangered, Bornean, Sumatran, and Tapanuli. The Tapanuli orangutans are the most endangered with approximately only 800 remaining in the wild. They face habitat loss due to farming and deforestation as well as poaching. World Wildlife Foundation is working hard to help save the species by protecting their habitats and connecting orangutan populations to help their genetics. In Sumatra they help fund Thirty Hills, one of the last places where orangutans still coexist with tigers and elephants.
