What happens to the Orangutans living in the areas which are destroyed?
Generally, Orang-utan living in areas that have been cleared (that have not been killed in the clearing process such as fires used to prepare and clear the land) will continue to seek food in their former habitat. Orang-utans (and other wildlife such as Sumatran Elephant) often cause damage to new plantation of oil palm and community crops, which often leads to conflict between plantation owners (and their employees) and the orang-utans. Often the Orang-utans are seen as pests and killed to stop the damage to the crops.
