Borneo’s orangutans are facing injury, disease and death as their homes are being destroyed by humans logging for an expanding palm oil industry.
Borneo Orangutan Survival (BOS) explains that the most important risk factor to the orangutans is their loss of habitat. Their homes, forests in Indonesia and Malaysia, have declined by more than 80% in the last 20 years and the major reason for this is a combination of legal and illegal logging for the growing palm oil industry. Palm Oil is only grown in tropical environments, which are home to the orangutans.
