facing extinction. As a responsible person‚ we should take care of our unique flora and fauna. The best way for us to protect our wildlife is by opening the maintenance and conservation centre for the animal which is rapidly decreasing in number. In doing so‚ we can protect that animal from being extinct. At the conservation centre‚ we can take care of them‚ feeding them and treat them if they are sick. For example‚ we can see in Sepilok‚ Sabah where orang utan are treated with care to avoid extinction

Why is an understanding of evolutionary and population processes important for species conservation? Abstract Evolution is it a theory of previous life becoming more like present life over time through means such as "natural selection" With an endless diversity of life‚ and variation as a result of the interactions of organisms with their environments. Fundamental to the process of understanding how evolution works is to look at a combination of many mechanisms such as genetic variation‚

As a result more of them are being captured. It is absolutely vital that orang-utans be returned to the wild where they can breed and propagate the species.

Orangutans are an endangered mammal species that lives on Indonesia and Malaysia. These majestic creatures are endangered for many reasons. The main reason the orangutans have become endangered because of the excessive logging in their habitat. These animals are one of the most important species in the rainforest environment. Orangutans are an essential part of keeping the rainforest alive because they spread seeds throughout the entire area where they live. This animal eat foods that contain

The Evolution of Orangutans Orangutans are apes with reddish-brown hair that originated 2 million-100‚000 years ago. Orangutans are categorized the Hominidae family‚ which is commonly known as the Great Apes. Orangutans live in Asia‚ only found on the islands of Sumatra and Borneo. They are known for their long arms which can reach to a length of 7m‚ fingertip to fingertip (See Appendix A‚ Fig.1). There is no real evidence of who the orangutan’s ancestors were. The primate

Deforestation is indeed the primary threat to the orangutan‚ a species of great ape known for its keen intelligence and the fact that it’s the largest animal to live primarily in trees. A 2007 assessment by the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) predicts that orangutans will be virtually eliminated in the wild within two decades if current deforestation trends continue. The great reddish-brown apes are native to the tropical rainforests of Indonesia and Malaysia‚ which are being cut down rapidly

The first groups of primates I visited and observed were the orangutans‚ which translates to ‘man of the forest’ in the Malay language. There were two different sub species in the enclosed habitat‚ the Bornean orangutan (Pongo Pygmaeus) and the Sumatran orangutan (Pongo Abelii). The Bornean orangutans varied in appearance from the Sumatran orangutans‚ with shorter hair on
