Assessing where wildlife populations are at risk from future habitat loss is particularly
important for land-use planning and avoiding biodiversity declines. Combining projections of
future deforestation with species density information provides an improved way to anticipate
such declines. Using the critically endangered Bornean orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus) as a
case study we applied a spatio-temporally explicit deforestation model to forest loss data
from 2001 to 2017 and projected future impacts on orangutans to the 2030s. Our projections …

Assessing where wildlife populations are at risk from future habitat loss is particularly
important for land-use planning and avoiding biodiversity declines. Combining projections of
future deforestation with species density information provides an improved way to anticipate
such declines. Using the endemic and critically endangered Bornean orangutan (Pongo
pygmaeus) as a case study we applied a spatio-temporally explicit deforestation model to
forest loss data from 2001-2017 and projected future impacts on orangutans to the 2030s …
