Our Vision
Our vision is a world where orangutans are free from the threat of extinction and can live in the wild, unharmed by humans.
back to their home.
our two sanctuaries.
The Problem
There are numerous threats to the viability of the remaining wild orangutan population in Indonesia and Malaysia. The primary threat is the loss of habitat with up to 80% of suitable forest in Indonesia and Malaysia having been lost in the past 20 years. Other threats, which often go hand-in-hand with the destruction of the rainforest, are the illegal pet trade and poaching.

So great to see this saving their habitat and the orangutans so special and precious for the future and pur children need to be taught this
You are all brilliant. Please keep caring for these beautiful, intelligent animals until one day maybe they are all back in the forests where they belong.
Quel bonheur de les voir loin de leurs tortionnaires 🩵💛🩷❤️💙💚
Dear Lord please bless this mission
