As of recent estimates, there are approximately 1,000 to 2,000 orangutans in captivity worldwide. This number includes individuals in zoos, sanctuaries, and rehabilitation centers. The exact figure can vary due to ongoing conservation efforts and changes in population management. Many captive orangutans are involved in breeding programs aimed at preserving the species, which faces significant threats in the wild.
