Over the last 84 years the orang-utans habit has slowly been
destroyed by humans
Slide 3
Threats to Orangutans: Running out of time : the relentless
expansion of oil palm production means that a lack of time is a
real threat to the conservation of the Bornean Rainforest. Forest
destruction: primarily due to clearing forest for oil palm
plantations, forest is being cut down to meet the global demand for
palm oil. Extinction: habitat loss on this scale could lead to the
extinction of many of the islands flagship species. Worst-case
scenarios indicate that if forest destruction continues the
Orang-utan will face extinction.

Surely there is nothing I can do?

In 2011, I was part of a Chester Zoo team who acted for
orangutans by travelling out to assist our project partners in
Borneo who are building bridges for orangutans. We spent two weeks
with the HUTAN-KOCP team and assisted with the construction of
seven bridges in conditions of 35 C, 90% humidity and a lot of
leeches! Last year I raised almost 100 with my friend by doing a
sponsored run, I got my friends and family to sponsor me and it was
great fun and we won a visit to Chester zoo At summer school we
learnt about the orang-utans habitats and how we can help by
raising money to help fund rope bridges to let them cross the
rivers
