Scientists Discover New Orangutan Species

With funding from The Leakey Foundation, scientists have discovered a new species of orangutan in Sumatra. This great ape is "among the most threatened great apes in the world."

In 1887 M. Eugène Dubois set out to what was then the Dutch East Indies in search of the missing link. More than a century later, Leakey Foundation Grantee Julien Louys followed in Dubois' footsteps to look for fossils in the caves of Sumatra.
