Popis:	The orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus) once ranged widely over Southeast Asia and Indonesia. The species is now reduced to the islands of Sumatra and Borneo. Within Borneo, continued habitat destruction is fragmenting the remaining wild populations into isolated subpopulations or demes. These two processes, overall reduction in population numbers and fragmentation of surviving populations, pose the greatest threat to the ultimate survival of endangered species in the wild.
