Why do Orangutans need our help?

If Timtom’s cute little face isn’t enough to show you that we need to save these animals, hopefully some facts about their endangered existence will convince you why they need our help.

Unfortunately it is estimated that 100,000 Bornean orangutans lost their lives between 1999 and 2015.

The main issue is the loss of their forest habitat caused by logging for timber materials, forest fires, making way for oil palm plantations, mining and agricultural expansion.

Oil palm trees produce an edible vegetable oil that is used in many products, ranging from toothpaste to pizza. Indonesia and Malaysia make up over 85% of the global supply of palm oil, so the orangutans habitats are very much in demand.

Cutting down pristine rain forest to create space for palm oil production is extremely unsustainable. Not only is it extremely harmful to the existence of orangutans and other animals, but it also releases a lot of carbon into the atmosphere.

The good news however, is that palm oil can be produced in a sustainable way, by planting on already degraded land rather than replacing a thriving jungle. Palm oil also produces larger yields than other oils such as sunflower or olive oil, meaning less space is needed than other similar oils.

As consumers, we can fight to buy only sustainable palm oil, but boycotting isn’t the answer, demanding more action is. On top of this are the threats of illegal hunting for meat and capture for the exotic pet trade.

The Born Free-supported Orangutan Foundation, plays a key role in helping protect
wild orangutans and their habitats.

Some of their key work includes...

  • Ensuring protected areas stay protected.
  • Creating new conservation areas to safe guard orangutan populations.
  • Conducting daily foot patrols and monitoring forests to prevent poachers and other illegal activities.
  • Preventing deforestation.
  • Reducing illegal activities in Tanjung Putting National Park and Lamandau Wildlife Reserve.
  • Rescuing and reintroducing back to the wild injured or orphaned individuals.
  • Fighting forest fires in orangutan habitats.
  • Ensuring local communities are involved and supportive of conservation initiatives.

In the past three decades it is estimated that 80% of orangutans habitats have been lost.

The Orangutan Foundation has had great success in reducing the number of illegal activities in the wildlife reserves by maintaining a high visible presence.

Guards posts have been set up, for example post 25 located in the Lamandau reserve. These guard posts have been constructed in strategic locations, daily foot patrols deter unwanted visitors, whilst boat trips and drone surveillance also helps monitor the forests.

Fire-fighting teams have been trained and are ready to respond to any reports of fires in the critical orangutan habitat. In 2016, the Orangutan Foundation also managed to plant an incredible 15,000 fire resistant Ubas tree seedlings after forest fires destroyed 11,000 hectares of the Lamandau Wildlife reserve. With a lot of hard work and a little bit of luck, the forest is regenerating, species are returning and the natural ecosystems is being restored.
