For the first time in 80 years, a new species of orangutan has been discovered in the rugged highland forests in western Sumatra. The species has already been classified as endangered as it faces threats to its natural habitat. There are about 800 Tapanuli orangutans residing on land protected by the Indonesian government, but a proposed hydroelectric dam along a river nearby would flood part of their habitat and split up the population. The dam could also bring more humans to the area which would increase the likelihood of hunting.
蘇門答臘島西部發(fā)現(xiàn)了新的猩猩物種。這是80年來人類首次發(fā)現(xiàn)猩猩的新物種。這些猩猩生活在崎嶇高原上的深山密林中。這個物種被列為瀕危物種，因為其棲息地面臨著威脅。印尼政府保護區(qū)內(nèi)，生活著大約800只達巴奴里猩猩。但是一項提案提議要在附近的一條河上建設水電站壩，這樣它們的一部分棲息地就會被淹沒，這些達巴奴里猩猩會被分隔兩地。這座大壩建成后，也會吸引更多人類來到這里，增加了偷獵的可能。
