“The rainforest is being cut down at alarming rates, and orangutans are losing their habitats and are being killed, as a result, faster than we can save them, but there is a solution. In Borneo, small parcels of rainforest land can be a lifeline for orangutans so long as they link together protected forests, enabling animals to move safely over greater distances.” LongTogetherMovingAnimalResultsGreaterCuttingLandLosingSolutionsDistanceRateForestsFasterLinksProtectedEnablingHabitatParcelRainforestLifelinesOrangutansBorneo Author:Katie Cleary
