Description

Explore the urgent reality of primate conservation with Our Vanishing Relative: The Status of Wild Orang-Utans at the Close of the Twentieth Century. Published by Springer, this work follows the critical history of the orang-utan, from the 1960s when populations were estimated at only 4,000 to the modern threats they face today. This book provides a detailed look at why the IUCN declared this ape an endangered species. It examines the direct connection between the survival of the orang-utan and the preservation of rain-forest habitats. As human populations grow and habitats face demolition, understanding these ecological shifts becomes vital. Written by Rijksen, an authority on orang-utan conservation, this text offers insights from one of the first researchers to conduct detailed studies of these apes in the wild. It serves as a serious study for those interested in biological sciences, animal physiology, and the ongoing fight to protect endangered species from extinction.
