Survival The Orangutan in Kutai


About 2.097 Kalimantan East orangutan which is life in National Park Kutai area nowadays besieged by conversion forest. Forest area around that national park is converted for the development of industrial crop forest, enterpasing of forest, mining, and development plantation of sawit.

Besides besieged by conversion forest, orangutan habitat in threatened Kutai also because a number of hard damage forest area, for example effect of forest fire, illegal logging, coal mine, and setlement around road.

I hope society and government around forest also follow protecting the orang utan. Because Orang-Utan is scarce animal. I also surprise why government do not quickly react and still enable all forest entrepreneur to destroy our beautiful forest.
