|
| The report said rapidly increasingly human populations were fragmenting habitats for orang-utans, gibbons and leaf monkeys. |

|
| Boon-Mee seemed doomed to share the fate of so many orang-utans in Indonesia, where palm-oil plantations are destroying the primates' tropical habitats on Borneo and Sumatra. |
|
