Demonstration Calling For Protection Of Orangutans

The Associated Press | Tue, 11/17/2009 4:03 PM | National

Stop aping around!: Activists hold up a banner and wear orangutan costumes during a demonstration calling for the protection of orangutans from habitat loss due to the clearing of land for palm oil plantations in Jakarta, on Tuesday. Orangutan populations in Kalimantan and Sumatra Islands are facing severe threats from habitat loss, illegal logging, fires and poaching. Conservationists predict that without immediate action, orangutans are likely to be the first great ape to become extinct in the wild. AP/Irwin Ferdiansyah
