Orangutans comprise three distinct living species across Southeast Asia. The Bornean orangutan, which is the most common, inhabits Kalimantan in Indonesia along with Sarawak and Sabah in Malaysia. Meanwhile, both the Sumatran orangutan and the Tapanuli orangutan live exclusively on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List, every single one of these three ape species is now officially classified as critically endangered.
