Borneo and sumatran orangutan facts

Save orangutan is mandatory action that orangutan conservation can work very well (both from the government, society, company or orangutan protection laws).
1. Borneo Orangutan, Pongo pygmaeus, is a species native island of Borneo orangutan. Together with the smaller Sumatran orangutan, Borneo orangutans to the genus Pongo can encounter in Asia. Borneo Orangutan has a long life time for 35 to 40 years in the wild, while in captivity can reach the age of 60 years.
2. Picture Borneo forest development are becoming increasingly diminished.
3. Borneo Orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus) had a body weight of about 50-100 kg (males) and 30-50 kg (females) with an average height of 1.5 meters.
4. Borneo Orangutan that consists of three subspecies Pongo pygmaeus morio, Pongo pygmaeus pygmaeus, and Pongo pygmaeus wurmbii.
5. Borneo Orangutan is omnivorous animal though more like plants. The food are fruit, leaves, bark, flowers, bird eggs, insects, and other small vertebrates. Borneo's endemic animals active during the day (diurnal).
6. Subspecies Pongo pygmaeus pygmaeus (Northwest Bornean Orangutan) can be found in Sarawak (Malaysia) and northwestern Borneo. Subspecies Pongo pygmaeus wurmbii(Central Bornean Orangutan) is located in Central Kalimantan and the southern part of West Borneo. while the subspecies Pongo pygmaeus morio (Northeast Bornean Orangutan) found in East Kalimantan (Indonesia) and Sabah (Sepilok orangutan rehabilitation is one of the places located in sabah, malaysia). If you want to see directly the lives of orangutans in their natural habitat then orangutan tours is one choice or you can try borneo orangutan tour to see orangutans in the wild.
7. Borneo orangutan population is more than the Sumatran orangutan. Its population is estimated at between 45,000 to 69,000 individuals (Caldecott and Miles 2005). To participate in the development of the orangutan population then you can join orangutan adoption program.

Borneo orangutan
1. Sumatran Orangutan or Pongo abelii is among the 11 most endangered mammal in Indonesia.
2. Sumatran orangutan population is estimated only about 6,500 individuals (MoF, 2007).
3. Sumatran Orangutan (Pongo abelii) is almost similar to the Borneo orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus) but has a smaller body size. Sumatran orangutan height approximately 1.25 to 1.5 meters with body weight range 30-50 kg (females) and 50-90 kg (males). Another characteristic of the Sumatran orangutan is a great posture, long arms and strong, short legs, and no tail. In his body covered with feathers (hair) in maroon.
4. As an animals endemic of Sumatran, Sumatran Orangutan can only be found on the island of Sumatra. Some areas are a major habitat, among others, in northern Sumatra (Aceh and North Sumatra) as in the Gunung Leuser National Park and Wildlife Bukit Lawang. The last few years orangutan conservation projects have made the Sumatran orangutan reintroduction into the Thirty Hill National Park (Jambi and Riau).
5. The more rare and declining population Sumatran Orangutan caused by damage forest. The Sumatran tropical forests by UNESCO as a world heritage site degradation due to conversion of palm oil plantations, mining, clearing, both legal and illegal logging, settlement and forest fires.

Malay Sun bears Borneo is the smallest of these species and subspecies are considered to warrant status (Helarctos malayanus eurispylus). Southeast Malay bears inhabit both primary and logged tropical forests, dense in Asia, including tropical always green forests, mountain forests and marsh habitat. This occurs up to 2,000 meters above sea level.
The biggest threat Honey Bear lives in Borneo and Sumatra is the destruction of forests and the people as its main predator. The impact of fires and uncontrolled deforestation that swept the forests of Sumatra and Kalimantan, causing populations H. malayanos threatened with extinction. This is difficult because of endangered species to survive, since honey bear only lives in wet lowland tropical forest. While the damage forest fires and illegal logging occurs almost every year. Coupled with the level of dependence on low lying wet tropical forests is very high. Some bear ever found dead of starvation due to burn down their forests. This proves that these animals live only in forest areas that are completely natural.
Sun bears (Helarctos malayanus), its existence continues to shrink. But it's not an easy matter to add the numbers. Not only because of wide habitat is reduced due to coal mining in East Kalimantan, but these animals were also reluctant to reproduce as if the wide territory continues to shrink. There are interesting facts about the unique nature of sun bears, which is not or hold to have children if they feel that his children would not receive a suitable roaming area.
Since 1994, Sun bears (Helarctos malayanus) categorized the status of conservation "Vulnerable" (Vulnerable; VU) which means that these species are at risk of extinction in the wild. Besides sun bears included in CITES Appendix I since 1979.

Virus infection in aedes aegypti mosquito's body can lead to behavioral changes that leads to increase vector competence, the ability of mosquitoes spread the virus. Viral infection can result in less reliable mosquito sucking blood, repeatedly jabbed his proboscis, but was unable to suck blood so that insects move from one person to another. Consequently, the risk of viral transmission is becoming increasingly large.
Aedes Albopictus (Asian Tiger Mosquito)
Aedes mosquito is a kind of mosquito that usually encountered in the tropics area. His name is derived from Greece words aedes, which means "no fun", because these mosquitoes spread several dangerous diseases such as dengue and yellow fevers.
