Orangutan
Due to deforestation, orangutans continue to experience major habitat loss. As a result, these animals struggle to find food and are forced to search in agricultural areas. They are then killed for food or in retaliation for destroying crops. Orangutans are also victims of pet trading, which has posed a major problem for their young offspring.
The forest is a sacred place for wild animals of all kinds. Keeping their habitat in tact by preserving trees and plants is crucial for their survival. And not only should wild animals never be taken from their parents, but they deserve to live in the wild so they continue to thrive as best as they can.
