Description

This authoritative study examines the critical status of wild orang-utans as the twentieth century drew to a close, offering essential insights into one of humanity's closest living relatives and the threats to their survival. Originally, conservationists believed fewer than 4,000 orang-utans remained in the wild during the 1960s, prompting the IUCN to classify the species as endangered and call for worldwide protection. Despite these efforts, orang-utans continue to face existential danger due to rapid destruction of their rainforest habitat driven by human development and expanding populations. Written by Rijksen, a pioneering researcher who conducted some of the earliest detailed field studies of wild orang-utans and became recognised as a leading authority on orang-utan conservation, this book documents the alarming decline observed through the late 1980s. The work combines scientific rigour with urgent conservation messaging, making it essential reading for anyone concerned with primate biology, habitat preservation, and the consequences of human expansion on endangered species.

Key Features

Written by Rijksen, a pioneering authority on orang-utan conservation who conducted early detailed field studies of wild populations.

Examines the status and threats facing wild orang-utans at the close of the twentieth century during a period of rapid habitat loss.

Provides insights into rainforest ecosystems and how human development has demolished the natural habitats orang-utans depend on for survival.

Offers scientific perspective on endangered species protection and the effectiveness of worldwide conservation efforts since the 1960s.
