The Only Known Albino Orangutan Is Thriving After Two Years Of Being Released To The Wild

The three orangutan species – Bornean, Sumatran, and Tapanuli – are classified as critically endangered and only found on Sumatra island and the island of Borneo, which belongs to Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brunei. They are the miserable victims of habitat destruction when farmers clear forests for agricultural purposes. People even hunt these apes for food and attack them when they reach residential areas in search of food.
