Issue

In November 2011, for instance, two Indonesian plantation workers in

Borneo were arrested after killing "at least 20 endangered orangutans and proboscis monkeys as a means of pest control for landowners looking to protect their crops," the Associated Press reports.

The men said they had "chased down the primates with dogs," before shooting, stabbing or hacking them to death with machetes. They allegedly told authorities that "the owners of several palm oil plantations on Borneo island [had] offered $100 for every orangutan killed and $20 for every long-nosed proboscis monkey."

According to Orangutan.org, both species of orangutans left in the wild are in severe decline and are threatened with extinction.

The Impact to our worldOrang Utan is a basic of species which called umbrella species and sharing 96.4% of our DNA

Orang Utan primarly eat fruit, and they play an important role to seed disperser

If orang utan extinct, there will be no regeneration to our forest. The situation more worst with illegal logging

The loss of orangutan reflects the loss of hundreds of species of plants and animals in the rain forest ecosystem

The primary forest is the basis of human welfare and the key to a healthy planet is biodiversity
