The activists said that the zoo did not provide decent living environment for their orangutans causing them to fall into depression. Orangutan populations in Indonesia’s Borneo and Sumatra islands are facing severe threats from habitat loss, illegal logging, fires and poaching. (AP Photo/Dita Alangkara)
