Sumatra Orangutan Research Papers

Sumatra Orangutan Research PapersThe Sumatra Orangutan Research Project was initiated in 1998 with the aim of conducting scientific research on the Sumatran Orangutan for the benefit of humankind. The project aims to conduct wide-ranging research in various areas including ecology, behavior, behavior modification, language, genetics, social learning, visual cognition, ontogeny, olfaction, behavior, ontogeny of communication, social ecology, juvenile orangutan care, behavioral and social changes, forest and landscape modification, habitat use and changes, and behaviour. This is all part of a broader initiative to manage and study the Sumatran Orangutan for future conservation needs.Until now, the population of Sumatran Orangutans was rapidly increasing and this has resulted in them encroaching into areas that were considered as off limits for their daily life. So far, the population of Sumatran Orangutans is so large that it is now considered as endangered. The initial issue that the Sumatra Orangutan Project wants to deal with is their excessive encroachment on their natural habitat. This should not be the case, as there are many areas where they are thriving and this need to be controlled to save their remaining habitats.The project aims to arrive at the correct scientific definition of Sumatran Orangutan that could help both the science community and the general public better understand the animal. Sumatran Orangutans lives in many areas, but some areas are more attractive for them than others.One such paper was published in Nature Communications in May 2020 by two Sumatran Orangutan Research Project researchers, Dr. Bruce F. Swanson and Professor Barry P. Beekman. They conducted a study to explore the lives of Sumatran Orangutans and found that the most common social structure of Sumatran Orangutans in their natural habitat is communal. They also found that communal Sumatran Orangutan groupings use stone hammocks asthe primary source of shelter, as well as t o make their nests.They also found that Rakata is the most common call that Sumatran Orangutans uses to communicate with one another. Rakata calls can be translated as 'love'be right back'.Another paper was published in the journal Conservation Biology by Dr. Ed Luikart and Dr. Stan L. Jensen. In the paper, they proposed the use of natural languages for research purposes, particularly with respect to the Sumatran Orangutan. In the paper, they propose that the training of Sumatran Orangutans to form words of the language could help study the evolution of social learning.The authors also wrote another paper, titled 'Cognitive Intelligence and Sociality in Sumatran Orangutans', in the same journal. In this paper, they also proposed the use of symbolic language to conduct the type of empirical research that they wish to conduct. Their proposal came out to be sound, as in the Sumatran Orangutan and Meerkat Species Studies report by Luikart and Jensen.Their exemplary work, however, is onl y the beginning of the research that the Sumatra Orangutan Research Project hopes to do in the coming years. And while much progress has been made, there is still much to be done.
