Logging threatens orangutans' habitat in Indonesia

This picture taken on June 4, 2009 shows an orangutan swimming through the waters of the Rungan River, in Central Borneo, Indonesia. Destruction of their natural habitat forced these huge apes to take to water. The rising worldwide demand for palm oil used to make bio-diesel fuel has led to mass deforestation in areas like Borneo.[CFP]
