Orangutans are one of the most endangered species in the world. Habitat loss, hunting, and the illegal pet trade have all contributed to their decline.

The biggest threat to orangutans is habitat loss. The rainforests of Southeast Asia are being cleared at an alarming rate to make way for plantations, mines, and logging operations. This is destroying the homes of orangutans and making it difficult for them to find food.

Hunting is also a major threat to orangutans. Orangutans are hunted for their meat, their fur, and their bones. The illegal pet trade is also a major threat to orangutans. Baby orangutans are often taken from their mothers and sold as pets. This is a cruel and inhumane practice that often leads to the death of the orangutan.

Orangutans are now listed as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). There are an estimated 104,700 orangutans left in the wild, and their numbers are declining rapidly.
