| Sumatran Orangutan (14,613 individuals):Although they have been legally protected in Indonesia since 1931, orangutans are still captured and kept in families because they are considered symbols of power. In some areas, they are hunted for meat and are threatened by deforestation. Tourists can admire this magnificent animal in Sumatra and Indonesia. |
