look , orang utan does housework !
what can u say after watch this video of orang utan does housework .?
how to save endangered orang utan
Step 1
Adopt an orangutan by providing money for his care. The Orangutan Foundation International, for example, offers individuals, families and schools the opportunity to assist in their conservation efforts by "adopting" an orphaned young animal. You'll often receive photos and news about the animal you choose to adopt.
Step 2
Purchase recycled paper and products made from sustainable timber. Habitat destruction continues to put orangutans in danger. Because eco-labeling can be inconsistent, it's best to not to purchase any type of tropical hardwood to avoid supporting rainforest destruction.
Step 3
Take an eco-tour to see orangutans. Some organizations offer you the chance to visit and assist refuges. You can help do research on wild orangutans, assist with daily caretaking at the wildlife refuge or simply observe the animals. Creating an environment that makes orangutan survival profitable will help governments and businesses take action.
Step 4
Buy only sustainable palm oil or products using sustainable palm oil. Conversion of habitats to palm oil plantations has happened across the great ape's habitat. Owners of the plantations clear-cut lowland rainforests, leaving no habitat. Many plantations consider orangutans wildlife pests and kill them when given the chance.
Step 5
Support zoos and other organizations who sponsor breeding and research programs. Visit the zoos, donate money to the programs and support community education initiatives. Captive breeding programs may help sustain the species and research can help experts come up with new conservation strategies.
Step 6
Hold a fundraiser with the donations going to orangutans. Donate the money to one of the conservation organizations and use the occasion to educate others about what they can do to help save endangered orangutans.

information of baby orang utan
Vital Statistics
Newborn orangutan babies weigh about 3 pounds. They are born fully covered with hair, except on the face. Their eyes are open, and they can grasp. The mother will carry them everywhere for the baby's first year and then the baby will start to travel on its own. Mother and baby stay together closely until the age of four, when it begins to wander off for short excursions. The baby will not be weaned until it is about four years old.
Number
Orangutans have one baby at a time. The mother spends up to six years taking care of the baby and will not mate during this time. According to the Honolulu Zoo, no female with a baby less than four years old will mate, which is one reason why an adult male orangutan may kill a small baby---so the mother will go into heat. A female orangutan can only have three or four babies in her entire lifetime, which is one reason why the species is endangered.
Pet Trade
In order to get a baby orangutan to sell in the pet trade, the mother must be killed because she will not give up her baby willingly. According to the BBC News, this practice is illegal, but authorities rarely prosecute. Baby orangutans can bring thousands of dollars on the black market. However, when the babies grow bigger and stronger, these pets are surrendered to animal shelters.
Misconception
Orangutans do not instinctively know how to survive in the wild, no matter what their age. They need to be taught how to survive by their mothers. According to the Honolulu Zoo, in order for an orphaned baby orangutan to be released into the wild and have any chance at surviving, they need at least five years in a rehabilitation center.
Fun Fact
One baby male orangutan named Chantek was taught sign language from the age of nine months by anthropologist Lyn Miles. Chantek learned over 150 signs from 1978 to 1986. He first lived with Miles in her home and then, when he was eight, moved to the Yerkes Regional Primate Research Center in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and then was moved to the Atlanta Zoo in 1997.

how to keep orang utan from going extinct
Step 1
Boycott any products that contain palm oil in their ingredients. Palm oil is widely used in processed foods such as cookies, chips, margarine, and candy. It is also found in many household products and cosmetics like detergent, lotion and lipstick. Boycotting such products keeps money from the palm oil industry, helping to slow its takeover and destruction of rainforests.
Step 2
Spread the word. Talk to friends and family about boycotting products made with palm oil. Most people haven't heard about the damaging effects of the palm oil industry on the environment and animals like orangutans. Raising awareness is one of the most important ways you can help. The more people boycott palm oil, the more corporations will feel the pressure to stop using it.
Step 3
Write letters to companies that sell products with palm oil and make it clear that you are disappointed in their choice to support a destructive industry. Ask them to consider alternative options to palm oil, and tell them that you won't buy their products until they stop using it.
Step 4
Speak with grocery store managers or contact a chain's corporate headquarters about discontinuing the sales of items made with palm oil. This can be difficult to accomplish, but it's worth a try. Most people unknowingly support the palm oil industry when they buy these products because there are so many of them. Removing the products completely could make a significant impact on the industry.
Step 5
Donate money to an organization that helps orangutans displaced by deforestation. Many of these orangutans are orphans--shelters give them a home and a place to be cared for, as they have no other place to go since their natural habitats are vanishing. You can also get involved by choosing an orangutan to "adopt." Check the Resources section for some links to these organizations.
