The joy of seeing this magnificent primate was spoiled by his destroyed habitat -- under normal circumstances, the orangutan would never venture so far out of trees. But here he was in a beyond-degraded and marginal habitat, probably looking for food he could no longer find inside the forest. Although once a jewel of biodiversity...
