Orangutan research focuses on studying the behavior, ecology, and conservation of orangutans, primarily found in the rainforests of Borneo and Sumatra. Researchers observe their social interactions, feeding habits, and habitat use to understand their needs and challenges in the wild. This research is crucial for developing effective conservation strategies, as orangutans are critically endangered due to habitat loss and poaching. By gathering data on their populations and threats, scientists aim to promote awareness and protect these intelligent primates and their habitats for future generations.
