What we do for orangutans, we do for ourselves. Peter Pratje, of the Frankfurt Zoological Society, introduces us to our orangutan family and reveals how we, as individuals, can help prevent their imminent extinction. On the brink of extinction in the wild, orangutans share at least 28 unique physical characteristics with humans. We share only 2 with chimps and 7 with gorillas, a new scientific paper suggests. Orangutans are very likely our closest cousins. Now, how can we just sit by and watch our relatives hunted, killed for food or driven from their habitat??
