Two orangutan's, mother and baby, are caged after they were captured in the village in Sungai Pinyuh, Indonsia. These orangutans were only looking for food in this village, because they couldn't find any in thier own home, the rainforest. The orangutans were beaten before being put in the cage, and one of them was beaten so bad, it died.
The rainforest covers about 60 percent of Indonesia, and it is rapidly deteriorating. Many of the adult orangutans are killed so they do not eat crops, leaving the orphans to fend for themselves, and most die in the wild.
This article relates to Environmental science because it involves the rainforest, which is dissapearing at a very disturbing rate, and the animals that are living there are dying becasue of it. If this keeps up, many animals are going to go extinct because of this.
