Orangutans are hunted for food, because of either ignorance of the laws against it, or out of desperation due to starvation. As humans begin to live deeper in the forest, orangutans are tempted to eat the fruit in the gardens and farms, and so are seen as pests and are sometimes shot. The females are shot for the babies, and then the female’s skull is sold illegally as souvenirs.
