Conservation research is important not only in helping to find out which approach of conservation ismore effective, it can also develop cheaper ways to monitor the population and improve the healthcare of orangutans that are under the care of humans.

Therefore there are organizations such as Orangutan Conservancythat gather money through donations and merchandise sales to fund research as well as projects that will go a long way in aiding the conservation of orangutans.
