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.

539
Orangutans have been released
back to their home.
349
Orangutans are being cared for in
our two sanctuaries.

Adopt an orphaned orangutan

Orangutans are on the brink of extinction. Help provide the care and rehabilitation 
they need to return to the wild.

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.

Please #HelpUs comfort #baby Mia!

The newly rescued #sunbear #cub urgently needs a #babyhouse so she and her friends can sleep next to her surrogate parent at night—and you can #helpus build it.

However, there are only a few days left, and we are still far from our goal of raising the much-needed $50,000.

Please remember that these amazing living creatures are being turned into endangered species by despicable multinationals like Ferrero which makes Nutella or those making oreo cookies or Cadbury products, to name just a few, which keep on destroying their natural forests in Indonesia and Borneo to plant Palm oíl trees just because Palm oíl IS cheap!!!! The international community must inform consumers about It,fine those multinationals and ban this appalling business and those Who buy those products containing Palm oíl MUST be aware of its terrible consequences... Please,lets read the labels and lets not buy those products containing Palm oíl for the sake of these innocent and unique living creatures 🦧🦧🦧
