during the pop quiz

Do you know that everyday there's at least one orangutan died in the forest? It is all because of human's bad attitude that don't know about others and busy making money and search for wealth.They even willing to destroy the habitat of orangutans to build the most biggest building that can be collapsed anytime by earthquake.

Even though they are just animals that don't have a good thinking and cannot talk fluently like human but they are also God's creature. God's creature that don't have any sins and mistakes towards human but why us, humans, willing to disturb their lovely home??? The reasons that human always used is not acceptable at all.

*Human's willing to burned this orangutan's habitat just for money.

Are you willing to let them died each day by that cruel way??? What do you want to tell to your next generation when they asks you about orangutan??? Where can you find orangutan when they want to see them??? Can you ever let that cute little creature died??? Can you???

So please, dear human, stop destroying their home! They also want to live freely at their own habitat without any threat and disturbance. Help them,human!!! They need us to protect themselves!

*Mother orangutan and her two little children are foretell their future with a big hope

How to Save Endangered Orangutans

Endangered orangutans live on two islands, Sumatra and Borneo, in Asia. Some estimates suggest that orangutans could become extinct within the next decade or two. Threats to their survival include habitat loss and illegal pet trade. Their slow reproduction rates also contribute to the problem.

Step 1 : Adopt an orangutan by providing money for his care. The Orangutan Foundation International, for example, offers individuals, families and schools the opportunity to assist in their conservation efforts by "adopting" an orphaned young animal. You'll often receive photos and news about the animal you choose to adopt.

Step 2 : Purchase recycled paper and products made from sustainable timber. Habitat destruction continues to put orangutans in danger. Because eco-labeling can be inconsistent, it's best to not to purchase any type of tropical hardwood to avoid supporting rainforest destruction.

Step 3 : Take an eco-tour to see orangutans. Some organizations offer you the chance to visit and assist refuges. You can help do research on wild orangutans, assist with daily caretaking at the wildlife refuge or simply observe the animals. Creating an environment that makes orangutan survival profitable will help governments and businesses take action.

Step 4 : Buy only sustainable palm oil or products using sustainable palm oil. Conversion of habitats to palm oil plantations has happened across the great ape's habitat. Owners of the plantations clear-cut lowland rainforests, leaving no habitat. Many plantations consider orangutans wildlife pests and kill them when given the chance.

Step 5 : Support zoos and other organizations who sponsor breeding and research programs. Visit the zoos, donate money to the programs and support community education initiatives. Captive breeding programs may help sustain the species and research can help experts come up with new conservation strategies.

Step 6 : Hold a fundraiser with the donations going to orangutans. Donate the money to one of the conservation organizations and use the occasion to educate others about what they can do to help save endangered orangutans.

Treat Animals Kindly

In the Qur'an and Hadith (sayings of the Prophet), it is emphasized that animals be treated as humanely as any other of God's vast creation. The Qur'an goes as far to say that cruelty to animals is equivalent to cruel treatment of a human being. Kind treatment of animals is considered a good deed in the same sense that good conduct and treatment between human beings is deemed a good deed. The following Hadith illustrates this point:

The Prophet said, "While a man was walking he felt thirsty and went down a well, and drank water from it. On coming out of it, he saw a dog panting and eating mud because of excessive thirst. The man said, 'This (dog) is suffering from the same problem as that of mine.' So, he (went down the well), filled his shoe with water, caught hold of it with his teeth and climbed up and watered the dog. Allah thanked him for his (good) deed and forgave him.'' The people asked ``O Allah's Apostle! Is there a reward for us in serving (the) animals?'' He replied: ``Yes, there is a reward for serving any animate (living being).'' (Narrated by Abu Huraira -- Volume 3, Book 40, Number 551)

So, protecting animals give us nothing but benefits. This will balance the world. It goes the same with protecting orangutan.

Hope that orangutans will live until the end of the world. There will be no extinction if we humans care about their life. Deforestation can jeopardize their life. So, we, the youth and the assets of world, should contribute in saving the orangutans, also the others animals having extinction.
