The world animal day's vibes on October 4^th is still can be felt until today. There are still banners and pictures widespread all over the social media and mass media that were published by WWF or other NGOs. If I have to relate it to Indonesian context, so the first animal that popped in my mind is Orang Utan.

Orang Utans, are Asian species of extant great apes that is native to Malaysia and Indonesia. Orang Utans are currently can be found in the rainforest of Borneo and Sumatera. Orang means human, and Utan means Forest in both Bahasa Indonesia and Malay language. So, Orang Utans are sometimes called as human (creature) that lives and stay in the forest of Indonesia and Malaysia.

Orang Utans are often called as one of the most intelligence primates in the world. Orang Utans live at the top of tree and they construct or build their own nest based on their own comforts. Their nests often have pillows, blankets, bunk-beds, and roofs.

However, since the human populations grow, the need of open area for housing and industrial activities sometimes forced human to burn and cut down the forests, which is the natural habitat of Orang Utans. Ever since, the number of Orang Utans populations keep on decreasing. It then attracts the attention of Indonesian Government and other international organisations in taking actions to preserve the population of Orang Utans.

The Government of Indonesia created many national parks to prevent the habitat of Orang Utans and their number of populations. In Kalimantan Island (Borneo), the greatest national park for Orang Utans' preservation program is named Tanjung Puting. Whereby in Sumatera, the greatest national park for Orang Utans is named Gunung Leseur National Park.

Orang Utans are also currently protected by Indonesian legal law since 1990. Moreover, the Government of Indonesia is also strengthening its basic law about the legalisation of forest usage for commercial use, so that the number of forest being burn down or cut down for the industrial need will be reduced. Moreover, there is a great NGO that pay its specific attention on Orang Utans' conservation program named Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation.

In conclusion, Orang Utans are also living creatures like us that want to live in peace and freedom. We may not have powers as great as Indonesia's Government, WWF, or even those volunteers on the NGOs to support Orang Utans conservation program. However, that does not mean there are no opportunities to support the conservation program. By understanding the well-being of Orang Utans and spread the informations about the current condition of Orang Utans to your surrounding environment is one of a great step to be taken, so once you grow to be those powerful people on top someday, you will absolutely remember the story of Orang Utans you read today and use your power to help and save them.
