2. Study AreaWhere is rehabilitation centre for orangutan in Tanjung Puting National Park ? The map shows Tanjung Puting National Park
How many is the the scale of rehabilitating area?
Introduction
Orangutan (Pongo pigmaeus) is an extinct primate animal. Its status as the extinct animal requires more intensive treatment to maintain their existence in Indonesia especially at Tanjung Puting National Park.
It is necessary that the rehabilitating methods for infants who lost the parents should be established. We must the a lot of data to keep their development and well conditions. Therefore, it is important to clarify the energy requirement and the food nutritional contents, and then establish the supplemental feeding methods.
Method 1
To estimate the quantitative nutritional content
Measuring 35 orangutan`s body weight
By estimating the adequate nutritional for orangutan using Fowler`s formula
1.5 MEC (Metabolic Energy Coefficient) = 1.5 x Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)
Method 2Converting its nutritional needed (protein, fat, vitamins and minerals) in to the Recommended Nutrition Intake for human
the information of how many grams bananas, pineapples, milk, cerelac and sugar had been consumedestimating their nutritional content based on Indonesian List of Food Nutritional Composition
The evaluation of the food cost per day or the consumption cost for each age class to progress orangutan and their habitat.

The comparison of nutritional requirement for infant child, juvenile,
and adult orangutans
1. Infant-child classexceeded 37 %
2. Juvenile classlacked of 35 % of their needs
3. Adult classlacked of 76 % of their needs
Discussion
1. The rehabilitating area in Centre Rehabilitating Orangutan at TanjungPuting give the opportunity for orangutan to grow up by themselves and reproduce. On the first step at rehabilitation, Forest Ranger always take care and helpful for orangutan. As the new comer become adaptation for the new habitat, they are keeping in their ecological behaviors.
2. Supplemental feeding costs per day for orangutan were infant-child 137 %, juvenile 65 % and adult 24 %. The dependent rate for natural foods of infant-child is very low, juvenile is middle and adult is high. Its suggests that the orangutan adapted step by step for natural conditions, as they growth.
3. I must determine juvenile and adult orangutan`s foods in the forests. And then I research the nutritional contents, seasonal changes in their body weight and the nutritional capacity in the forests.
4. I hope that Forest Ranger do not supply the supplemental foods again for juvenile and adult, because they have to take their life by themselves.
Firstly, we have to gain the social consensus for orangutan conservation. Second step, we have to become good natural habitat for orangutan.
Now, natural forest at Tanjung PutingNational Park are poor habitat for orangutan`s life. There are many illegal logging and human activities. I think that we can conserve the orangutan if the area at Tanjung Puting National Park will be increase on the large scale and sustain the area with the preference foods for orangutan.
5 a. The density of orangutan is low at Tanjung Puting, one or two individuals per two square kilometers in most area.
b. Most field researchers have noticed that at the time of fruiting of durian, orangutan assemble in the durian tree in large numbers. It is certainly an indication of it being a favorite for the orangutan palate.
The fruiting season for the durian is actually rather long, from August through to December and peaking in the month of October.
This implies that every individual territory might contain one durian tree that the territory was chosen perhaps because of its presence.
