Indonesia has innumerable varieties of primates, very well acclimatized to the humid forests of Borneo and Sumatra, including the most emblematic of the archipelago: the orangutan. Preferring the solitude of the low forests. This close cousin of man (its name literally means "man of the woods") is endangered, and the species only survives in Kalimantan and Sumatra. But the accelerating destruction of the forest (mainly for palm oil) is accelerating this process.
