Conservation Group: Bornean Orangutan Critically Endangered
TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - A global conservation group says Borneo's orangutans are now a critically endangered species due to hunting and destruction of forest habitat.
The International Union for Conservation of Nature estimates the number of Bornean orangutans has dropped by nearly two-thirds since the early 1970s and will further decline to 47,000 animals by 2025.
