The changing climate is likely to disturb the pattern of rains within the Amazon, causing them to decrease. Decreased rainfall will meant that the large amount of vegetation that the orangutan resides in will be depleted. Therefore, conservationists should focus on preserving the orangutan's habitat in order to save it.
