Summary:
In a new research article, a team of international researchers argue that the Tapanuli orangutan -- a species discovered last year in Sumatra, Indonesia, and one of the rarest animals on the planet -- could lose its battle for survival, unless decisive steps are taken to rescue it. 'In 40 years of research, I don't think I've ever seen anything this dramatic,' said Professor William Laurance from James Cook University in Australia, leader of the research team.
