Mutia, a 16 year -old Sumatran Orangutan, sits chained to a pipe at an abandoned garment factory before she is rescued by conservationists Wednesday, Sept. 17, 2008 in Medan, Indonesia. Orangutans are an endangered species whose wild populations are threatened by loss of habitat, and increasing contact with humans.
