Orangutan, old man of the forest, an inhabitant of rich tropical forests (only in parts of Borneo and Sumatra) and endangered victim of the Palm Oil industry. These magnificent creatures have been facing extinction at the hands of deforestation in the name of industry for decades. There are only approximately 50,000 to 65,000 orangutans left in the wild, with approximately 2,000 to 3,000 orangutans being killed annually. Along with this, orangutans have lost over 80% of their natural habitat over the last 20 years. Many researchers believe that orangutans could be extinct within the next 50 years. #InternationalOrangutanDay was established to help raise awareness of their plights and aid in protecting them. How to help: -Donate to an orangutan conservation organization -Educate yourself on deforestation and other threats to orangutan welfare -Spread awareness about orangutan conservation #savetheorangutans #orangutanday #angryearth
