Big question: What happens to the energy in an ecosystem when one organism eats another?

Big question: What happens to the energy in an ecosystem when one organism eats another?

# data[].attributes.body
When one organism in an ecosystem eats another, energy will be passed to that organism. Every time an organism gets eaten, ten percent of the energy that the organism originally had will get passed to whoever the organism is getting consumed by, this process gets repeated throughout the food chain.

Orangutans are not hunters! They will strip bark from trees, memorize locations for food sources, track seasonal changes in fruiting peaks, and observe other animals behavioral signs to find fruiting tress.

An orangutan would be a secondary consumer, they consume primary consumers and producers.

Human activity is the driving force of the endangerment for orangutans.

# data[].attributes.body
One organization that was very eye catching for me was Orangutan Foundation International (OFI), they are dedicated towards conservation of wild orangutans and their habitat. OFI also supports research on orangutans and forests. OFI allows you to adopt an orangutan, they use the money the make from that then goes to orangutan conservation efforts. (website to organization

I think the conservation efforts are effective. Many of the organizations and programs are helping to provide funding towards orangutans and their habitat.
