To stop orang outangs from going extinct we must manage to keep enough males and females alive that their offspring can mate without suffering from inbreeding, which could cause all kinds of genetic problems.

There are only two ways to do this. Either we manage to keep enough of them in captivity (in zoos and private collections) that they can keep breeding, or we must preserve enough of their natural habitat that the population can survive on the food available there, and protect them from being killed by hunters. In both cases there will be problems. When the population is small, it doesn't take much to make it go exinct. For example, a disease could spread among them and kill enough of them that the few remaining animals cannot breed enough to allow the species to survive. Or, if the animals are in the wild, the population could be broken up into small groups - as the forest they live in is cut down into smaller and smaller patches, for instance. These small groups cannot survive in isolation and cannot reach other groups, so they are doomed.

It will not be easy to stop the orang outangs from becoming extinct. Unfortunately this is also true for all of the other great apes, our closest cousins.

Also, you can cut down on, or not use at all palm-oil. You may find it in some toothpastes, shampoo, and others.

If we do not prevent orangutans from going extinct (dying out) then whole ecosystems will die too! Just say (this isn't true but) orangutans keep this, I dunno, plant in control, if they die then the plant will get out of control and spread so far that it may destroy other animals (like the....chimps) food so the chimp will die too.

Hope this helps.

How does deforestation affect orangutans?

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.
