The massacre of Borneo orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus) has actually been occurring since the 1990s. But in 2011, the issue of torture and massacre of an orangutan to the attention of the public as reported by several national media.
Their habitat in the form of tropical rain forests in the lowlands, swampy forests or forest hills at an altitude of 1500 meters above sea level (asl) in Kalimantan and Sumatra being eroded due to illegal logging and palm oil company greed as well as pulp mills (pulp).
State apparatus, from police, local government until the Ministry of Forestry and the Ministry of Environment did not do the maximum to save the orang-utan habitat and life.
They like to let the torture and massacre of an orangutan who has been going on for decades. Even using these animals as the subject of prostitution was already a common thing, especially in the interior of Borneo.
Many female orangutans become sex slaves by lecherous men who work for brokers, financiers of illegal logging. The poor orangutans chained, shaved his hair until exhausted and then fucked by the lecherous man.
The money from the barons, bandits and mafia of illegal logging and palm oil are more powerful than just law enforcement.
Who knows how long this will last despicable act.
According to data issued by the International Workshop on Population Habitat Viability Analysis (PHVA) -2004, orangutan populations in Borneo there are about 57,797 birds. While the population of orangutans in Sumatra, there are 7501 individuals, as quoted by the website of The Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation.
There should be a rapid and massive movement of the government, especially President SBY and vice president to stop the torture and slaughter of orangutans. Then issue a moratorium on the issuance of license for establishment of forest in Borneo and Sumatra as well as replacing all the police and forestry on the ground that have been proven to allow the slaughter of orangutans.
Do not let the orang-utan and a tiger Java Bali tiger became extinct due to human ignorance and greed.
