Footage of a male orangutan roaming the site of an Indonesian coal mine has sparked renewed concern about the future of the critically endangered species.

The footage shows the primate roaming across a chasm of sand streaked with white and black rocks, dug into land still surrounded by vegetation.

Indonesia is one of only two places in the world where orangutans are still found, along with Malaysia .

Indonesia has one of the world's highest deforestation rates, with commodities mining a key driver.

The images renewed doubts about government claims economic activity in the province is not affecting endangered animals.
