At this time was developed the wildlife reserve to conserve their population in Indonesia and Malaysia.
The location and the habitat
The orang-utan was found in the tropical South-East Asian rainforest territory, that is in the Borneo island and Sumatra in the Indonesian territory and Malaysia of the country's part. They normally live in luxuriant trees and make his nest from the foliage. Orangutan could live in various types of the forest, beginning with the forest dipterokarpus hills and the plain, the river basin, the forest of the freshwater swamp, the peat swamp, the dry land on the mangrove swamp and nipah, arrived at the mountainous forest. In Borneo orangutan could be found in the height 500 m. above sea level (dpl), whereas his relatives in Sumatra it was reported could reach the mountainous forest in 1.000 m. dpl.
Orangutan Sumatra (Pongo abelii lesson) was one of the endemic animals that only was in Sumatra. Orangutan in Sumatra only occupied the northern part of the island, from Timang the Elephant, Aceh Middle to Sitinjak in Tapanuli Selatan.Keberadaan this mammalian animal was protected by regulations 5 in 1990 about Conservation of Biological Nature resources and his Ecosystem and was classed as 'Critically Endangered' by IUCN. in Sumatra, one of the populations orangutan was gotten in the river basin (the BANG) the Toru Stick.
North Sumatra. The population orangutan wild in Sumatra was estimated by an amount 7,300 [2]. In the Batang Toru BANG 380 tails with the density pupulasi around 0.47 to 0,82 tails per square kilometre. The population orangutan Sumatra (Pongo abelii lesson) currently was estimated 7,500 tails. In fact in the era 1990 an, was estimated 200,000 tails. Their population was met in 13 areas was separated geographically. This condition caused continuation of their life increasingly was threatened extinct. [1] At This Time almost all orangutan Sumatra was only found in the North Sumatran Province and the Acehinese Province, with the Toba Lake as the limit was most southern his distribution. Only 2 relatively small populations was on the south-west of the lake, that is Sarulla Timur and the forests in the Toru Barat Stick. The population orangutan biggest in Sumatra was encountered in Leuser Barat (2,508 individuals) and Leuser Timur (1,052 individuals), as well as the Singkil Swamp (1,500 individuals). The other population that was estimated potential to remain in the long term (viable) was gotten in the Stick Toru,Sumatera North, with the measurement around 400 individuals.
Orangutan in Borneo that was categorised as 'endangered' by IUCN was divided into three sub-species: Orangutan was in Borneo grouped in three kind children, that is Pongo pygmaeus pygmaeus that was at the north of the Kapuas River down to east Sarawak sea; Pongo pygmaeus wurmbii that was found from south the Kapuas River to the western part of the Barito River; and Pongo pygmaeus morio, was estimated totally his illegal population in the wild only 45,000 as far as 69,000. In Borneo, orangutan could be found in Sabah, Sarawak, and almost all the Kalimantan plain forest, except South Kalimantan and Bruneian Darussalam.
