A series of arguments: Argument 1

Loss of habitat is the greatest threat to orangutans. Farmers clear huge areas of forest to grow crops, particularly palm oil - a product that is commonly found in many supermarket goods around the world such as shampoo, deodorant and chocolate biscuits. Land is also cleared to build roads, to collect timber and for mining. Today, experts state that more than 50% of orangutans live outside of protected forest areas on land owned by timber, palm oil and mining companies. Orangutans are now an endangered species that need protection.
