An illegally kept orphaned Sumatran Orangutan clings onto the bars in a cage on the outskirts of Kandang, South Aceh, Sumatra, Indonesia, 9th June 2013. Trade in endangered species is illegal in Indonesia, but prosecutions are rare. As forests are increasingly cut down for palm oil plantations, trafficking in wildlife is growing, according to the Sumatran Orangutan Conservation Program.
