March 18, 2019 - Sibolangit, North Sumatra, Indonesia - Sumatran Orangutan Conservation Programme (SOCP) shows veterinarian performed an operation on a female orangutan they named 'Hope' who was evacuated from a village with a broken arm, at the quarantine Sibolangit, North Sumatra, Indonesia . A veterinarian said the endangered orangutan had a three-month-old orangutan baby they named 'Brenda' who was evacuated from a village with a broken arm after being shot at least 74 bullets in the body, including six in the eye, with an air rifle bullets. The orangutan population in Borneo and the island of Sumatra in Indonesia face severe threats from oil palm plantations built from destroyed tropical rainforests, causing the death and displacement of many species, habitat loss, illegal logging, fires and poaching among them, endangered orangutans, rhinos, Sumatran tigers and Sumatran elephants. Conservation experts predict that there are only around 13, 500 Sumatran Orangutans and less than 800 Orangutans Tapanuli who are still living in the wild, without immediate action orangutans will likely become the first great apes to become extinct in the wild.
