Sumatran Orangutan



;Recently recognized as distinct from its cousins on the island of Borneo, the Sumatra Orangutan's habitat historically extended throughout southeast Asia. Today, however, it is confined to the island of Sumatra where it faces extreme pressures from habitat loss. In the past 20 years, 80% of its habitat as been eliminated by gold mining, logging and agriculture (primarily oil palm plantations). In the forest fires of 1997 and 1998, up to one-third of the population was killed. Though conservation programs exist, at current rates of decline it is thought that wild populations of the Sumatran Orangutan (as well as the Bornean Orangutan) could become extinct in the wild by 2010. Yes, as in next year
