Did you know that orangutans are the only great apes found outside of Africa?

There are two orangutan species (Sumatran orangutan and Borneo orangutan). Both of them are critically endangered. The Sumatran orangutan is almost exclusively arboreal, living among the trees of tropical rainforests. Females virtually never travel on the ground and adult males do so rarely.

Orangutans are frugivores and play a vital role in the dispersal of seeds over a huge area. If orangutans were to disappear, so would several tree species, especially those with larger seeds.
