Indonesia China Orangutans

An activist in an orangutan costume takes part during a March 1, 2019, protest against the construction of a dam that they claimed will rip through the habitat of the most critically endangered orangutan species, outside the Chinese consulate in Medan, North Sumatra, Indonesia. Environmentalists lost a court challenge Monday to the Chinese-backed dam despite warnings from experts who said the dam will flood and in other ways alter the habitat of an orangutan species numbering only about 800 primates and likely make it impossible to take a crucial step toward ensuring the species survives.
