Heartbreaking footage of orangutan trying to fight off excavator that is destroying his home

Exposing the Big Game's avatarThe Extinction Chronicles


In the last four decades, Bornean orangutans lost over a half of their natural habitats. And the main reason is logging operations. Nowadays, Sungai Putri Forest is among the very few homes left for these animals. But, unfortunately the place is under a major threat, because of humans actions.

“Sungai Putri is home to one of the largest populations in the world, and we are at a critical point for the Bornean orangutan,” Karmele Llano Sanchez, program director of IAR in Indonesia, stated. “Without forests like this, they can’t survive.”

IAR does restless efforts to save and the last natural environments in Indonesia, but their success rate seems to be very low.

    I try to avoid it as much as possible, but it seems to be increasing in use because it is cheap, and not so cheerful. 😦
