The Problem
There are numerous threats to the viability of the remaining wild orangutan population in Indonesia and Malaysia. The primary threat is the loss of habitat with up to 80% of suitable forest in Indonesia and Malaysia having been lost in the past 20 years. Other threats, which often go hand-in-hand with the destruction of the rainforest, are the illegal pet trade
and poaching.

Today we are celebrating International Primate Day, honouring the incredible diversity of primates worldwide!
There are over 500 primate species, including orangutans, gorillas, chimpanzees, baboons, macaques, lemurs, and tarsiers.
From the smallest, the Madame Berthe's mouse lemur, to large gorillas, these incredible animals help maintain forest health and biodiversity by dispersing seeds.
Unfortunately, more than 60% of primate species are currently threatened with extinction, and over 40% are classified as Endangered or Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List.
Let's all do our part to spread the word and support organisations that save and protect primates and their habitats.

This week is Jeni's rescue anniversary. 🎉
When Jeni arrived six years ago, at just 10 months old, she weighed only 5 kilograms. She had dry skin and wounds on the back of one of her legs. It was evident that Jeni had experienced a traumatising time in captivity.
Today, Jeni has grown into an adventurous and confident orangutan. She loves swinging from branch to branch, munching on young leaves and forest fruit, and she is an eager student in Forest School Group 3.
It's so much fun to follow her journey to freedom. Why not become part of it by adopting her? With quarterly updates, you always stay on top of her shenanigans and progress in Forest School.
Adopt Jeni here: orangutans.co.nz/adopt/jeni
