Opis:
A critically endangered Bornean orangutan has been born at Chester Zoo. The tiny infant was delivered safely by experienced mum Leia in the early hours of Tuesday 7 October, following an eight-and-a-half-month pregnancy.Primate experts at the zoo have hailed the birth as "an important step forward” in efforts to safeguard the species and report that both mum and baby are doing well.Bornean orangutans are highly threatened in the wild due to deforestation, illegal hunting and conflict with people. This ranks them as a species requiring the highest conservation priority, according to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN).The newborn in Chester joins an international conservation breeding programme that's working to protect the species from extinction and ensure its future for generations to come., Credit:Chester Zoo / Avalon
