Indonesia is one of the largest palm oil producers in the world, specifically in the Sumatra area. In 2003, 54% of Sumatra area is covered by palm forest. Unfortunately, currently Sumatra have lost its forest cover by 25%, according to the data in 2014.

The great apes are quite significant because their genetic makeup is closely related to another great primate-- humans. That being said, for this assigment, I chose to focus on the Orangutan, a living priate that shares 97.6 % of DNA with humans. Orangutans are capable of recognizing themselves in a mirror, are known to use tools, learn from and teach each other new skills, as

but less offspring. Another factor that is leading to the decline of the orangutans, is that they are forced into solitude.
