Indonesian Sumatran orangutans released into the wild
Officers Sumatran Orangutan Conservation Programme (SOCP) put the Sumatran orangutan in a cage that is prepared to be released into the wild at a rehabilitation center, in Sibolangit, North Sumatra, Indonesia on July 10, 2015. Forty eight-year-old orangutan in which they had been kept as a pet illegally were rescued from oil palm plantations reintroduced again in the national park in order to maintain continuity. The rise of land conversion in Indonesia led to the existence of a population of orangutans in Borneo and Sumatra island is increasingly under threat from habitat loss, illegal logging, fires and poaching. Conservationists predicted that without immediate action, orangutans are likely to become the first great ape extinction in the wild. (Photo by Ivan Damanik/NurPhoto)
