Habitat Loss and Sustainability
Biodiversity loss in Sumatra
(a) One sub-species of orangutan is found only in the rain forests of Borneo, while the other sub-species of orangutan is found only in the rain forests of Sumatra. These animals are examples of the exceptional biodiversity of (c) the islands of Sumatra and Borneo. Other species include the (b) Sumatran tiger and the (d) Sumatran elephant, both of which are critically endangered. Rainforest habitat is being removed to make way for (e) oil palm plantations such as this one in Borneo's Sabah Province.
