Indonesia: Significantly reduced the number of Sumatra tigers and orangutans

Sumatran tigers and orangutans at the zoo in Indonesia are facing a significant decrease in quantity. According to Indonesian wildlife conservationists, there are less than 700 Sumatran tigers and 60,000 orangutans living in this wild environment.

At Taman Safari Zoo's veterinary hospital, two orangutans are playing with two Sumatra tigers. All four animals were abandoned by their mothers after birth.

Two 5-month-old Nia and Irma orangutans and 1-month-old Dema and Manis tigers have been living together for a month. Both varieties are seriously threatened.

Veterinarian Retno Sudarwati said they would separate the two animals when they grew up to be able to train them with different behaviors.

One of the reasons for the decrease in the number of mammals in Indonesia is that about 90% of the forests on Borneo and Sumatra islands have been devastated by illegal logging, illegal hunting and burning of forests for agriculture.
