Forested orang-utan habitat
Researchers document a loan male
orang-utan in habitat that has been
heavily fragmented by oil palm
development, concession holder
unknown.
Location: Central Kalimantan

The rapid expansion of
oil palm plantations in
Borneo in response to
international demand (the
oil is used for cooking,
cosmetics, mechanics,
and more recently as
source of bio-diesel) has
accelerated habitat losses.
Forest fragmentation
further reduces the size of
orangutan populations.’
