Episode 59 | The Future of Orangutan Conservation with Michelle Desilets | Think Wildlife Foundation

Orangutans, the only Great Apes native to Asia, are on the brink of extinction, with all three subspecies—Bornean, Sumatran, and Tapanuli—classified as Critically Endangered by the IUCN. Once widespread across Southeast Asia, orangutans now survive in fragmented populations due to habitat destruction from palm oil plantations and the illegal bushmeat trade. In this episode of The Think Wildlife Podcast, Michelle Desilets, Executive Director of the Orangutan Land Trust, shares her insights into the future of orangutan conservation. Learn about the ongoing efforts to protect these ecological engineers and their shrinking rainforest habitats.

CRITICALLY ENDANGERED SPECIES. According to World Wildlife Fund, 45,000 to 69,000 Bornean orangutans remain in the wild. That number might seem like a lot, but consider that in 2010 only 59.6 percent of Borneo’s forests were suitable for orangutans. And populations are predicted to decline as much as 86 percent by 2025, should this downward trajectory of habitat loss continue #criticallyendangered #borneoorangutan #saveorangutans https://www.instagram.com/p/CPZyxAVA5FF/?utm_medium=tumblr

“Most people know that forests are the lungs of our planet, literally playing a critical role in every breath we take. And that they're also home to incredible animals like the orangutan and elephant, which will go extinct if we keep cutting down their forests.” - Chris Noth #SaveTheRainforests #SaveOrangutans #SaveOrangutangs #Quote #ChrisNoth #LungsOfOurPlanet #BorneoRainforest #SumatranRainforest #SoutheastAsianRainforest https://www.instagram.com/p/CD4idgTFByd/?igshid=1718a4kemjtj2

Save Palm oil 🌴🐒 In the last 20 years, over 3.5 million hectares of Indonesian and Malaysian forest have been destroyed to make way for palm oil. Almost 80% of orangutan habitat has disappeared in the last 20 years. We are losing over 6,000 orangutans a year. #savetheworld #trees #stopdeforestation #plantatree #savetree #saveorangutans #watches #fashionforgood https://www.instagram.com/p/BylHs4yhkBB/?igshid=o8h482zoi7e9
