The Orang-Utan

According to Wikipedia, 'they are among the most intelligent primates'.
The orangutans are the only Asian great apes. They share 97% of  our human DNA. We should be proud that we have these great red apes or Man of the Forest in our country, Malaysia.
The Sumatran species is critically endangered and the Bornean species is endangered.

This is due to the actions of US humans.
Threats to orangutans:
-Oil Palm plantations
-Logging
-Hunting
-Illegal Pet Trades
-Forest fires
