Baby Orangutans

P. p. wurmbii - Central Bornean Orangutan - Central Kalimantan - >31,300
P. p. pygmaeus - Northwest Bornean Orangutan - West Kalimantan and Sarawak - 7,425
This indicates a decline from some estimates between 2000 and 2003 which found 7,300 Sumatran Orangutan individuals in the wild and between 45,000 and 69,000 Bornean Orangutans. Thousands of orangutans don't reach adulthood due to human disruption. Orangutans are killed for food while others are killed because of disruption in people's property. Mother orangutans are killed so their infants can be sold as pets. Many of the infants die without the help of their mother. Since recent trends are steeply down in most places due to logging and burning, it is forecast that the current numbers are below these figures.
