The outlook is bad for orangutans. Illegal logging is destroying forests in South-East Asia quicker than had been feared, with dire implications for orangutans. The rapid rate of removal of food trees, killing off orangutans displaced by logging and plantation development, and fragmentation of remaining intact forests, constitutes a conservation emergency.
