Zoo Atlanta
Zoo Atlanta is home to 11 orangutans. Bornean orangutans and Sumatran orangutans call Zoo Atlanta home and are critically endangered in the wild, and both species are experiencing dramatic population declines because of habitat loss, overharvesting of timber for palm oil plantations, and human encroachment. Experts predict that Sumatran orangutans could be extinct within 10 years without targeted conservation efforts.
