Orangutans Conservation Strategies
This paper will emphasize the conservation strategies surrounding Orangutans and the reasons as to why they are so desperately needed. Orangutans are quickly becoming more and more endangered, and are expected to become completely extinct by the year 2025. ( ) In a world where humans have the capability to destroy these lands that once solely belonged to these primates, humans also have the ability to conserve and protect this species. The ways in which humans and international conservatory groups are doing this will be discussed throughout the paper, placing an emphasis on the effectiveness of each and possible alterations that can be made in order to create more of an impact, with hopefully more of a successful outcome.
This paper will illustrate the main two conservation strategies that are currently in place, which as mentioned in Conservation Strategies for Orangutans: Reintroduction vs. Habitat Preventions are that of rehabilitation and reintroduction of excaptive or displaced individual primates as well as the protection of their forest habitat to rule out threats from outsiders including hunting and deforestation. (Wilson, Meijaard, Venter, Ancrenaz & Possingham, 2014) On top of these two main strategies, it is important to note that research has/ is currently being done in order to create more effective …show more content…
Of course, the conservation of orangutans is going to be of popular opinion. But in the grand scheme of things, there are some people who are making grandiose profits off of the factors that contribute to the endangerment of these animals. Looking at this crisis from an economic point of view, especially in regards to the production of palm oil, some people are making a lot of money! This industry is clearly booming, which could be the main discrepancy in regards to helping to preserve and protect these precious
