尽管采取主要的保护努力，猩猩可能会走向灭亡2*[k7pFFHD^6P5WSv。

A report by the International Union for Conservation of Nature says the Bornean orangutan is now critically endangered.

国际自然保护联盟的报告称，婆罗洲猩猩现在濒临灭绝mk;5,rl(H]]r#o2_LK83。

The only other orangutan species, the Sumatran orangutan, is already listed as critically endangered, meaning both species are now at "extremely high risk of extinction in the wild."

另一个物种，苏门答腊猩猩已被列为濒危物种，意味着现在两个物种野外灭绝的风险极高L=eCvLVadNDao3X。

The IUCN report found that Bornean orangutan populations slid by nearly two-thirds since the 1970s thanks to habitat destruction and illegal hunting. By 2025, that population is expected to be just 47,000.

国际自然保护联盟的报告发现，由于栖息地的破坏和非法捕猎，自上世纪70年代以来婆罗洲猩猩的数量下降了近三分之二#u(,IG]P=Jf65=3-。到2025年，婆罗洲猩猩的数量预计只有47,000只b]%gd*X.f)EGP%.(%yh。

One of the report's authors told Mongabay, This is full acknowledgment of what has been clear for a long time: orangutan conservation is failing.

报告的作者之一告诉Mongabay社，充分肯定长久以来对猩猩的保护失败了Wmr1^tOaTLxm.q03。

Because of human encroachment, only about 60 percent of Borneo's forest was habitable for orangutans in 2010, and illegal burning and logging continue to pose threats.

由于人类的侵入，2010年婆罗洲只有约百分之60的森林适合猩猩生存，非法焚烧和伐木继续构成威胁v8P+6&VL88,G。

But the new label of critically endangered doesn't necessarily mean extinction is a given. It's possible new conservation efforts could help save the orangutans, although one of the report's authors says the situation is likely to get worse before it gets better.

但极度濒危物种的新标签并不意味着就会灭绝eANvz9eO+._|o~GR2a7j。新的保护措施有可能帮助拯救猩猩，虽然报告的作者之一称情况在好转前可能会继续恶化)WF5zts~)Lzjk|dve。
