Well, the Orangutans main threat is the destruction of the forest that they live in. Us humans are cutting down their forests and rain forests for the use of toilet paper, paper, furniture and for the space for growing palm oil. Poachers are also killing them for their meat, and selling them to zoos, and for pets.

How has deforestation affected orangutans' habitat?
Deforestation has significantly reduced the natural habitat of orangutans, primarily due to logging and the expansion of palm oil plantations. As their forest homes are destroyed, orangutans face habitat fragmentation, which isolates populations and limits their access to food and mates. This loss of habitat not only threatens their survival but also disrupts the ecological balance of the rainforest, further endangering various species that share their environment. Consequently, orangutans are now classified as critically endangered due to these ongoing threats.

How vulnerable are orangutans?
Orangutans are critically endangered, primarily due to habitat loss from deforestation, illegal logging, and palm oil plantations.

Conservation efforts are crucial to protect their habitats and mitigate the threats they face, but their survival remains precarious. Climate change also poses an additional risk, further threatening their already fragile existence.
