IUCN has categorised which animal as critically endangered in the Borneo region?

a. Bornean orangutan

b. Bornean chimp

c. Bornean ape

d. None of the above

ANSWER: Bornean orangutan

Explanation:

IUCN findings indicate that habitat loss, degradation and illegal hunting have reduced the population of the Bornean orang-utan by 80 percent between 1973 and 2025.

This qualifies the orangutan for listing as Critically Endangered.

The whale shark, the largest fish has also been placed on the list.

Bornean orangutan is related to the genus of Sumatran orangutan.
