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. Orang-utans are on the brink of extinction‚ so each individual’s genetic blueprint is critical for the future survival of the

Assess the strengths and limitations for using participant observation to study truancy There are many strengths and limitations for using participant observation to study truancy. Truancy is defined as an unauthorised absence from school. Sociologists may want to investigate why truancy occurs‚ what anti-school subcultures are more likely to truant and what effect truancy has on pupils’ future careers or achievements. Participant observation is where the researcher takes part in the event that they

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
