The Tapanuli Orangutan is an endangered species amid a growing number of forest areas in the Tapanuli region, North Sumatra. At present the Tapanuli Orangutan inhabits three habitats.

Then in the South Block, Dolok Sibual-buali and the Lubuk Raya Nature Reserve. These three orangutan habitats are separated by a trans-Sumatra highway. The Dolok Sipirok, Dolok Sarulla and Batangtoru forests are separated by the Sumatra crossing road (Sipirok-Medan). Sitandiang forest corridor with
