Operation Orangutan

By a group of volunteer 6TH grade

Problem• Did you know that scientists believe that in 10-

12 years the orangutans will be extinct? • Farmers are cutting down Orangutans’

habitats just so they can plant palm oil trees. • The decline in the habitats not only leaves

them without homes and food, but they are more vulnerable to their

predators
