Endangered Animals in Borneo You Need to See
Orangutan can live up to 1,500m high but are commonly found in the lowlands close to water sources such as rivers. Efforts are ongoing to conserve and protect the orangutans.
Sumatran Rhinoceros is one amazing animal. They are the smallest living rhinoceroses in the world and the only Asian rhino that has two horns. They are threatened mainly by poaching for their horns and illegal encroachment leading to isolation of rhino communities has led to low birth rates.
Proboscis Monkeys can be easily identified with their large, fleshy noses which they use to attract mates! Much of their habitat is threatened by deforestation and their numbers are dwindling due to hunting.
Asian elephants are threatened by habitat loss and illegal wildlife trade decreasing their numbers from more than 100,000 to 50,000 in the wild.
Sunda Clouded Leopards are forest-dwelling cats spending most of their time in the trees. They are on the list because their habitats are threatened by deforestation and human settlements.
Slow Loris are the only venomous primates but they are vulnerable due to habitat loss together with illegal wildlife trade due to their cute appearances.
Malayan Sunbears, the smallest bears in the world, named sun bears due to a golden-yellow bib-shaped mark on their chest. Sun bears are threatened with deforestation and illegal hunting, mainly for their bile.
