A truly valuable species The name orangutan literally translates into English as person of the forest.

3 Greek myths tell of winged creatures known as Sirens, whose enchanting singing and music lured sailors to crash their ships onto seaside cliffs. The song of the Sirens was said to be so irresistible that it caused the deaths of many people who attempted to sail past their island home. Julia Golding has brought these creatures to life by writing a story that uses the idea that the Sirens might exist today. A small blue boat chugged out to the rocks guarding the entrance to the bay. The stone pillars, towering like giants cloaked against the elements, dwarfed the vessel. Col cut the engine Secret some twenty of the metres Sirens short and put on his ear protectors.

They even share I N D O N E S I A 96.4% of their DNA with humans. Sumatra Rapidly heading for extinction In prehistoric times, orangutans lived in rainforests throughout Asia. Today, deforestation and the spread of humans have limited Asian rainforests to just a few remaining areas in Borneo and Sumatra, but even here the forest is rapidly disappearing. As orangutans are arboreal, which means that they live most of their lives in trees, deforestation could spell the end for all wild orangutans. For both the Bornean and Sumatran orangutans the situation is now acute. In Borneo, fewer than orangutans Change are believed to Future remain. In Sumatra, orangutan numbers have been drastically reduced from in 1993 to only 6500 today. Both species appear on the International Union for Conservation of Nature s (IUCN) endangered list. This shows the seriousness of this conservation emergency. Saving the orangutan! It is clear that orangutans are an invaluable part of the world we share. To avoid their extinction we must act now.
