When will an endangered orangutan go extinct?

well, if the trees carry on being cut down, and destroying their habitats, then they won't last for too long. Some are dying, but the good thing is with a rainforest they have plenty of food, and lots more places to live for now, but if they carry on cutting them down, orangutans and other animals are in danger by far. It is predicted they will last a few years, perhaps 2+


Is it right that animals are kept in zoos?

It would depend on your view in regards to animals in zoo's. Yes, the animals should be cared for and protected.

It does help providing the few animals that are extinct, but cross breading (in breading) them does that really protect them from extinction.

Why should we bring extinct animals back?

If we don't help them then they will be gone forever and are impossible to get back. Such as the dodo, the mammoth and many others. Scientists are trying to bring back the mammoth by extracting the DNA from a baby one found in Serbia. Many species of animals will be extinct before we even discover them. They just found a new species of ant in Canada 5 days ago. ======================================================== Extinct animals can't be saved. Actually, there's the possibility that some extinct species may be "brought back" by cloning them using tissue or DNA. Not all extinct animal left behind viable DNA. This may be possible with certain animals, but probably not all.

There are some efforts to protect endangered languages, but most attempts fail. The best thing to do is record as much information as possible about the language in the hopes that one day it can be revived.
