HABITAT   LOSS  DRIVING SPECIES  TOWARD  EXTINCTION

images   speak   louder   than   words

 Indonesian island Sumatra is where the orangutan is listed as critically endangered.
See if you can spot the natural habitat.  We have given you a starting point via this LINK
Make sure you zoom in when you navigate your way around the island.  What you are looking for is forest.   You will notice it all looks rather green and lush until the zoom function  gains its focus. What you will actually see is palm plantations and habitat destruction covering the island from one side across to the other.
