WWF M'sia paper: Orang utan population stable, conservation must continue


KOTA KINABALU: The orang utan population of 11,000 has remained stable in protected areas in Sabah for the past 15 years, but the state must ensure conservation measures continue, says a WWF Malaysia scientific paper.

Entitled "Changes to Orang Utan Population in Recent Times: 2002-2017", it found that Sabah remains Malaysia's stronghold for the apes with more than 70% found in totally protected areas.
