Orangutans are animals adapted to live in the forest, they can not live anywhere else. If the forest is all cut down all the Orangutans that lived in it will die because they have nowhere left to live. Humans are rapidly cutting down all the forests that Orangutans live in and this means that if we do not stop doing this Orangutans will become extinct. The people who live in the places where Orangutans are to be found know this yet they still cut down the forests, When there is not more forest and no more Orangutans, this will be their fault and there will be environmental consequences - they will pay for this stupidity. -------------------------------------------------------------------- In many ways have they been affected. Most of the population of the orangutans are being killed and the population is decreasing. So if the deforestation keeps on going on and on and on. Then in about two decades they will probably most definitely be extinct.
Orangutans are herbivores. They do not have prey.
