YES, orangutans have been endangered since 1998 because people keep shooting them and chopping down the forests in which they live.
Orangutans are endangered mainly due to loss of habitat/deforestation. Orangutans are arboreal animals, which means they spend all of their life in the trees. Their habitat is being level to build plantations on and their trees are subject to logging. Without trees, the orangutan will not be able to survive.
