题目内容：
Recent fires have destroyed much of Indonesian forests and pose the latest threat to the survival of the endangered orangutans (red-haired apes).Thirty orangutans fleeing their burning forest home have been killed by villagers,who see the animals as crop raiders.Orangutan mothers have been killed so that their young can be captured and sold into the illegal wildlife pet trade.Orangutan experts continue to receive orangutan infants whose mothers have been killed while searching for food in plantations and fields.
The fires,caused by drought and coupled with fire-setting methods to clear forests,have destroyed more than two million acres.When fire gets into the rainforests’ layer of dry peat (partly decayed plant material which covers the soil),it can burn slowly off and on for months or years after the original fire.These fires continue until heavy rainfall soaks the peat through and through.Orangutans once numbered in the hundreds of thousands,but their population has dropped to roughly 25.000 due to fire,the destruction of forests from felling trees for timber and agriculture,and losses linked to the live-animal trade.Before the fires,only 40 percent of the orangutans’ original habitat remained,and now,their habitat has become even smaller..
