Sumatran Orangutan

Sumatran orangutans, whose name comes from the Malay language for "person of the jungle," are critically endangered.

Website

STATUS: Critically Endangered

POPULATION: 14,613

SCIENTIFIC NAME: Pongo abelii

WEIGHT: 66 – 198 pounds

LENGTH: 4 -5 feet

HABITATS: Tropical and Subtropical Moist Broadleaf Forests

The Sumatran orangutan is almost entirely arboreal, living in tropical rainforests amid the trees. Females almost seldom travel on the ground, and mature males do it only on rare occasions. Sumatran orangutans are said to be more socially connected than their Bornean counterparts. This has been attributed to the abundance of fruit on fig trees, which allows groups of Sumatran orangutans to graze together. Adult males are usually alone, whereas females are usually accompanied by their young.

The Sumatran orangutan was once found across the entire island of Sumatra, as well as further south into Java. The species' distribution has shrunk to the north of the island, with the majority of the population concentrated in the provinces of North Sumatra and Aceh. Only seven of the nine current Sumatran orangutan populations, each with an estimated population of 250 or more individuals, have long-term viability. More than 1,000 orangutans can be found in only three populations. Bukit Tigapuluh National Park is reintroducing orangutans confiscated from the illegal trade or kept as pets. They have a population of roughly 70 and are reproducing.

Why They Matter

Orangutans perform an important role in the spreading of seeds across a large area. Several tree species, particularly those with bigger seeds, would become extinct if orangutans became extinct.

Threats

Habitat Loss

Orangutan habitat in north Sumatra is rapidly disappearing, owing to fires, forest conversion to oil palm plantations, and other agricultural activities. This species is reliant on high-quality forests to survive. Forest fires are becoming a common occurrence, with many of them started on purpose to clear land for plantations. Not only can fires destroy enormous swaths of orangutan habitat, but thousands of these slow-moving primates are believed to have perished in the flames.

A plan to build a major road in northern Sumatra threatens one of the orangutan's last surviving habitat areas. The road would not only fracture the forest, but it will also allow illegal logging and human settlements to flourish. Despite evidence that preserving the region will aid long-term sustainable development, the project is moving forward.

Hunting

Despite the fact that orangutans have been legally protected in Indonesia since 1931, they are still abducted in the wild and kept in households as status symbols. Orangutans are hunted for food in some regions. According to TRAFFIC, the worldwide wildlife monitoring network, orangutans are in grave danger due to a lack of law enforcement against illegal trafficking. Females only have one child every eight or nine years, leaving their populations extremely vulnerable to even low levels of hunting. According to experts, even a 1% loss of females per year due to hunting or other unnatural causes might set a population on an irreversible path to extinction.

Get to know the Patreon Token

The Patreon Token is a cryptocurrency created by three pet-friendly crypto fans to create support for the animal welfare and conservation organizations they love, anytime, anywhere. The Patreon Token was created on December 01, 2021. It is made of 88 million pieces and each cryptocurrency can be divided into 8 decimal places.

Our goal

Our team will distribute a minimum of 80 million PTRN tokens to various aid organizations. This means that we want to send 8,000 tokens for free to at least 10,000 animal welfare and conservation organizations, which can be sold to generate revenue. The remaining 8 million tokens will be used to develop to our project. The most important thing for us is that all animal welfare and conservation organizations on the planet can be easily and instantly supported by everyone, wherever they live or stay in the world.

Stay Close.

Taking care of a young orangutan requires a lot of energy. Maxime Aliaga spent more than an hour observing this mother in the Hutan Pinus/Janthoi Nature Reserve of Sumatra, Indonesia, trying to keep her excitable baby with her in the nest. Since 2011 the Sumatran Orangutan Conservation Program has released more than 120 confiscated apes into the reserve. Their goal is to establish new wild populations as a safety net against decline. This mother, Marconi, was once held captive as an illegal pet, but was nursed back to health and released in 2011. #

[whats-in-a-sentence]

Female Orang-utans, for instance, sometimes masturbate by rubbing objects on the clitoris or inserting them into the vagina; tools used for this purpose include pieces of liana bitten off to an appropriate size or (in captivity) pieces of wire.

Cryptids & Creatures of Folklore Drawtober Day 24 — Orang Pendek

Orang Pendek is Indonesian for "little person" and is the name given to a hominid that has been sighted for centuries in the forests of Sumatra. This Bigfoot-like creature is said to be fairly similar in appearance to an orangutan—it has a coat of brown to reddish hair, a pot belly, and very long arms. However the Orang Pendek is also said to have longer hair on its head, has a more human-like face and feet, and also walks on two legs. The Kerinci people who are native to the area claim it is a creature with incredible strength and capable of uprooting small trees in spite of it only being three to five feet tall. They also say it is a big fan of Durian fruit.
