Kalimantan island or we can usually call Borneo Island is Habitat of
Orangutan. Orangutans
in Borneo also called Pongo pygmaeus. Orangutans are only graet ape or bid
monkey in Asia and can be found only on the Islad of Borneo and Sumatera.
Borneo Island is famous for its forest. Borneo forest green at the heart of
this world. Jungle rains forest is habitat Orangutans.
They used to live in dense trees and make a nest of leaves. In Borneo
Orangutan can be found at an altitude of 500 m above sealevel. Although
Orangutans including omnivorous animals. Most of them only takegrow herbs. 90 %
of the food in the farm of fruits. The food include tree bark, leaves flowers,
some insects and about 300 types of fruits. Orangutans females usuualy give
birth at the age of 7 – 10 years old with contents raging from 8.5 to 9 months,
almost the same as humans.
Number of babies born to a female is only one. Baby Orangutans can live
independently at the age of 6-7 years. Dependence on its mother Orangutan is
the longest all of animals, as there are many things to be learned in order to
survive, they are usually kept
until the age of 6 years. Orangutans
breed longer than other primates. The
orangutan females only give birth to a call every 7-8 years . Age of Orangutan
in the wild about 45 years and thourghout their live, Orangutan female only
have 3 offspring in her lives, where it means orangutan reproduction is very
slow.

In Indonesia orangutans are currently threatened by deforestation bush
meat and poachers for the illegal pettrade. WWF estimates that between 250 and
1,000 wild orangutans are captured and sold on the black maret each year With
total population of less than 30,000 individuals and slow reproductive rate (
female orangutan rarely production more than 3 pups during her lifetime ), this
loss is having a significant impact on the population and genetic diversity of
the species, some scientists fear that declining population could reduce the
genetic viability of the species and lead to extinction.
Logging and burning of forest each year accur in Kalimantan Borneo’s forestland is a source of heart and breath greening the world..truned into agricultural land and other business interest and and many people are hunting Orangutan to be traded so it needs more attention to animalslike Orangutan who incidentally live in the habitat. The rapid develovment of the technology today can be used as a means in order to conserve the animals that live in the rainforests of Indonesia to be enjoyed by future generations. In connection with the above discussion, it’s been many efforts of foreign countries in order handling Orangytan living in the rainforest of Indonesia. One is build a breeding place devoted to the Orangutan.

Efforts were made to save the forest from extinction also has a lot to
do whether it be from no governmental organizations as well as from local
governmet. One of the captive people of
forest in central Kalimantan is at Nyaru Menteng. Place penakaran is
approximately 30 Km from the city of Palangkaraya in place in addition to local
residents also many foreigner involved to help preserve the forest from extinction.
The place is a prorected forest that guarded its authenticity so that people
can live and grow forest as good as the original habitat, put in place facilitiesto
care if there are people who are sick forest or if someone had entered the
forest was also prepared where quarantine.
After it was released into the wild but still in control as citizens we need to. Kal-Teng proud of it because one time did not rule out the forest will be gone and only name. It is our collective duty to participate in conservation. How can by keeping the forest arroun us, the forest re-planting, maintaining of fires that occur each year during the dry season
