Tapanuli orangutans face mining, landslides, and fire threats — with no recovery plan

Cyclone Senyar's extreme rainfall in late 2025 destroyed swaths of the Batang Toru ecosystem in North Sumatra, home to the largest known Tapanuli orangutan population. Researchers count 716 individuals split across three fragmented subpopulations. Satellite imagery from June shows fresh ground disturbance near the Ramba Joring pit inside the Martabe gold mine concession; operator Agincourt Resources disputes that it was landslide-related. An environmental audit of the mine is still open, expansion plans proceed, and meteorologists warn of a severe El Niño-driven fire season.
