More About Us

Orangutans are one of our closest relatives, sharing 97% of our DNA. But as human populations increase, orangutan numbers are in decline. Orangutans once ranged throughout Indochina and south to Java. But today fragmented populations of two subspecies are restricted to the islands of Borneo and Sumatra.

Another Tit-Bit

Probably no more than 50,000 Borneo orangutans and 6,650 Sumatra orangutans remain in the wild, half the number that existed 20 years ago. The way things are going, in another 50 years wild orangutans could be all but extinct.

Orangutan in Malaysia and Indonesia are the only strictly arboreal ape, meaning that they spend their lives in the forest canopy, even building nests in the trees in which to sleep.

Orangutans primarily eat fruit, and spend up to 60% of their time foraging and eating in order to get enough energy.

Orangutans are highly intelligent and gentle animals. They use tools in the wild and have excellent memories to make mental maps of their forest home in order to find fruiting trees throughout the seasons. That is why we call them unique.
