Why do we have to bother saving them?

Let us tell you why.

Orang-utans are said to be our closest relative in the animal world, according to Darwin's infamous theory of Evolution. If you are one of the believers, then there. The perfect reason for you to start being concern about Orang-Utans as they are your left-overs ancestors who haven't go through Evolution yet. But if you don't believe in Darwin's theory, Orang-Utans are still the animal which have the most resemblance to us, speaking of the fact that they own 97% of OUR DNA. start thinking it is only 3% left that differentiate them from our kind. Orang-Utans have unique personalities and they display some of human behaviors. It makes them a whole lot special than other animals if you ask me.

Besides that, Orang-Utans are great apes and the largest arboreal animal there is. Orang -Utans also help to balance the ecosystem they live in, as unlike human, Orang-Utans do eat fruit seeds and will disperse them. This means they help in preserving the forests for their own good. See, God has made all His creatures with a specific function so that their living on this earth will bring some good, but unfortunately Orang-Utans' function has becoming less fruitful, as there are people destroying their natural habitat. Tell us now, do you think God created you so that you can ruin the world?

look at the newborn. did he think he was having his milk?
loving relationship, and they are barely human to feel that.

Did you know that Orang-Utan mothers can only give birth to 3-4 babies in their whole life? Did i mention the fact that a female Orang-Utans can only get pregnant once in 8-10 years? Notice the long time span between births? Orang-Utans are slow-reproducing animals, you wont see them lying everywhere on the streets with new babies like cats. This makes them vulnerable to population loss, and they take decades or even centuries to be replaced! With the factors of their extinction are becoming more frequent and common nowadays, Orang-Utans are facing greater risk of dying as we speak!

If Orang-Utans disappear, it also means the disappearance of other wildlife as well. Why? Obviously because they share the same destroyed forest as their home. Only the loss of other floras and faunas do not shock us much as maybe there are still lots of them in other forest-which would be destroyed, too, later. And probably because they do not give us many significant meanings like Orang-Utans do. If we keep ignoring this issue, the number of endangered species would increase drastically in a short while, and at that time, there's not much we can do about it. Just like how the extinction of Orang-Utans are already beyond our power now.

Oh and, when all the forests and floras are near to extinction, all of us are the ones who will face serious problems in the end. It will get back to us, friends.

look at those sad faces, tsk tsk.

And its just a common sense for you to think that, they are God's creatures and they own this world fairly as we do. Being violent to an animal brings the same meaning as to being violent to another human. When Orang-Utans are extinct someday, don't dream of seeing their lovely faces again. Orang-Utans are not renewable people, Orang-Utans are not just some rock you can kick at and you can throw in the sea. Once they are gone, they are gone, just like us.
