Orangutan tours tanjung puting overviews: The Orangutan is a great ape with long arms and reddish brown fur. Orangutans are presently found only in rainforests of Borneo and Sumatra, though they were once widely distributed in Southeast Asia (as far as southern China). Today orangutans are highly endangered in the wild due to the loss of habitat as a result of the destruction of rainforests

2 for logging and agriculture and the illegal trapping of baby orangutans as pets. WWF estimates there were around 55,000 Bornean orangutans in 2004, but the number has since dropped largely as a result of widespread forest fires and increased clearing for oil palm plantations. In August 2006, the Wildlife Conservation Society-Indonesia Program said that Indonesia's population of orangutans stands at 20,000, down from 35,000 in Due to its slow rate of reproduction, environmental groups have warned that the red ape could go extinct in the wild without urgent conservation measures. Genetic analysis has recently concluded that there are three subspecies of orangutans in Borneo: Pongo Pygmaeus Morio (Northeastern Borneo orangutan), Pongo Pygmaeus Wurmbii (Central Borneo orangutan) and Pongo Pygmaeus Pygmaeus (Northwest Borneo orangutan).
