I'm writing a book about an orangutan who was housed in zoo of Paris and is now in Apenheul zoological park, Apeldoorn, Wattana :

C. Herzfeld, Wattana, Un orang-outan à Paris, Paris, Payot & Rivages - to published on October 2012

I'm writing a chapter about the orangutans housed in zoo. I saw that the Jakarta zoo has the highest amount of specimens (90 orangutans ?). I would like to know more about the orangutans (sex ratio, births, number of babys, children, juveniles, subadults, adults) and how it is possible that there are so much individuals. Are they rehabilitants or;;; ?

Thank you very much for your valuable help...

where on earth did you come across the figure of 90 orangutans at Jakarta?! I don't know what the number they do have is but there certainly aren't anywhere near that there, even if you combine the totals from the Ragunan Zoo and the Schmutzer Primate Centre.
 
I would be extremely surprised if they do have 90 orangutans there, but maybe they do. If you have seen the studbook then surely you must know the details (sex, age, etc) already?
 
The 2002 studbook lists Jakarta Zoo as having 44 - 11 born there and the rest from the wild.
