Orangutan Populations may become extinct in the wild within the next twenty years

November 21st, 2003 by Dr. Birutė Mary Galdikas.

Orangutans may become extinct in the wild within the next ten years – a frightening fact. I spent most of the summer in Indonesia and the situation there remains very critical. I want to keep you up to date on our struggle to keep orangutans and their forests in Indonesia from being completely destroyed.

There is good news and bad news to the story.
