Orangutan Awareness +°. Hi! I though't I'd make a project about some of my favourite animals, Orangutans. Orangutans are a type of great ape found on Borneo and Sumatra, two islands in South-East Asia, who share about 97% of their DNA with humans! They are very important, as some of the main seed dispensers in forests. Unfortunately, they are critically endangered, with only around 230,000 left in the entire world. This is due to lots of hunting and deforestation in their habitats, and currently they are well on the way to extinction, as one female orangutan only has an infant every 3-5 years.
If you can, and you don't have to, but please consider making donations for them on https://www.worldwildlife.org/species/orangutan (WWF) or just spreading awareness for these poor endangered animals.
