Native to Indonesia and Malaysia, orangutans are currently found only in rainforests on the islands of Borneo and Sumatra, though fossils have been found in Java, Vietnam and China. Their name derives from the Malay and Indonesian phrase orang hutan, meaning "person of the forest". Tanjung Puting National Park is one of the few remaining habitats for this endangered animal. Lots of tour

I had to post this one from the Guardian Unlimited. "An orangutan who objected to having its photograph taken by a French tourist snatched her backpack before ripping off her trousers." "The woman, known only as Odile, was taking photographs of a female orangutan named Delima in a Malaysian wildlife centre when the ape took offense." "The pair tussled over Odile's backpack before Delima decided to go for the tourist's clothes." "He (Delima) took my shoes and socks off, and then tried to take off my trousers," Odile told the Associated Press news agency." "As he couldn't with his hands only, he tried with his teeth and that's when I got bitten. As soon as he got my trousers he went away." She denied she had tried to touch or harass the animal. Wilfred Landong, the

A French tourist was taking pictures of the Orangutan, named Delima, in a park in Malaysia’s Semenggoh Wildlife Centre on the island of Borneo. She had the shock of her life when an Orangutan tried to steal her backpack but ended up stripping off her clothes. The tourist became embroiled in a scuffle with the animal getting bitten in the process when trying to defend her self. The Park wardens said the two fought over the backpack for some time before the battle moved on to the woman’s clothes. The Tourist that was attacked told sky new that “He took my shoes and socks off, and then tried to take off my trousers,” said Odile. “As he couldn’t manage it with his hands only, he tried with his teeth - and that’s when I got bitten. “As soon as he got my trousers he went away.” Chief park warden Wilfred Landong said: “She had scratches and bruise marks on her knees and thighs.” The tourist said Delima searched her bag as th

Orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus pygmaeus) population in the Betung Kerihun National Park (TNBK) is on the brink of extinction due to poaching and illegal logging activities. Species Officer of the WWF-Indonesia`s Putussibau office Albertus Tjiu said that illegal logging activities had pushed orangutan further into the jungle. "The latest issue threatening the orangutan habitat in Kapuas Hulu district is the planned opening off oilpalm plantation. Investors are eyeing forest areas along the 805-km long river in the border area," Albertus Tjiu said Wednesday. The human encroachment would threaten the habitat of orangutans, which might approach human settlement areas, he said. "The next threat will be orangutan hunting with many excuses, such as for the needs of meat, just for hobby or trading,? he said. According to the 2004 data based on the Orangutan Population and Habitat Viability Assessment, the population of Pongo pygmaeus pygmaeus was 7,936 heads, (14,10 percent of the to

Malaysia accused Western activists Monday of trying to undermine the palm oil industry by claiming that orangutans are threatened by the clearing of forests in Malaysia and Indonesia.Deputy Prime Minister Najib Razak said government and industry officials should take immediate action to disprove claims that the spread of palm oil plantations is endangering wildlife such as orangutans, the national news agency Bernama reported.Over the past two years, environment and consumer advocacy groups in the United States and Europe have increasingly warned that the palm oil sector in Malaysia and neighboring Indonesia is destroying large tracts of forests and encroaching on the habitats of endangered species.A recent United Nations report, "The Last Stand of the Orang Utan: State of Emergency," said oil palm plantations are expanding so rapidly in the rainforests of Indonesia and Malaysia that almost no virgin forest will remain by 2022.Related: Saving Sumatra' s Wild Orangutans
