Pongo (Bornean Orangutan) - Bella Canvas T-Shirt

The Pongo (Bornean Orangutan) T-Shirt honors Pongo pygmaeus, the arboreal great ape endemic to the rainforests of Borneo. Known for its distinctive reddish fur, long arms, and remarkable intelligence, the Bornean orangutan exhibits sophisticated behaviors such as tool use and intricate nest-building. This species inhabits lowland and montane tropical forests, where its foraging on fruit, seeds, leaves, and occasionally insects plays a vital role in seed dispersal and the maintenance of forest structure.
 
From a conservation perspective, the Bornean orangutan is critically endangered. Habitat destruction—particularly for palm oil cultivation—illegal logging, fires, and poaching have led to severe population decline and fragmentation of their range. Efforts in rehabilitation, habitat protection, and reforestation are underway to stabilize and restore vulnerable populations, though significant challenges remain.
 
The garment is printed on demand using a Bella Canvas unisex T-shirt made from 100% combed and ring-spun cotton, with Heather options offering polyester blends. The fabric is lightweight (4.2 oz/yd² or 142 g/m²), soft to the touch, and pre-shrunk to ensure consistent sizing. Durability is enhanced by side-seamed construction and shoulder-to-shoulder taping, providing a reliable and comfortable fit for daily wear.
 
Wearing the Pongo (Bornean Orangutan) T-Shirt signals both an appreciation for evolutionary adaptation and a commitment to global conservation. It is well-suited for educators, conservation advocates, naturalists, and anyone inspired by primate intelligence and tropical biodiversity.
