ORANGUTAN NATURAL HISTORY AND SOCIOECOLOGY Orangutans are the only great ape outside of Africa and they are uniquely adapted to the tropical forests of Southeast Asia. During the Pleistocene, orangutans ranged throughout forests in Java, Sumatra, Borneo, Vietnam and southern China. As climate slowly changed over nearly 1.8 million years, the orangutan range shifted southward. Orangutan populations have declined dramatically, perhaps by ORANGUTAN CARE CENTER OFI established the Orangutan Care Center and Quarantine facility in 1998 to provide medical, parental and emotional care to ex-captive orphan orangutans in preparation for their release in the wild.

SAVE THE ORANGUTAN, SAVE THE ECOSYSTEM Great apes, including orangutans, are of great scientific interest due to their high cognitive abilities and the many similarities they share behaviorally and physically with humans.

However, ENVIRONMENTAL ENRICHMENT: NATURAL FEEDING BEHAVIORS When I asked Ibu Maryanti what her main goal for enriching the orangutans is, she responded, “I want them in their hearts to feel like they are in the forest.” Ibu Maryanti is the coordinator of environmental enrichment for the 330 orphan orangutans living at OFI’s Orangutan Care Center and Quarantine.
