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.

Onyer is the class clown at Forest School, and you should see his different facial expressions!
It's hard to believe how terrified and sad he was when he first arrived at our centre, after losing his mum.
By supporting Onyer, you become a vital part of his journey to freedom, and if you stick around, you might even see him return to his true wild home one day.

I love orangutan jungle School. It's the best show ever.
I have thought and thought of how anyone could kill a mama orangutan and steal her baby. Humans are evil beyond the pale, they are not deserving of love or kindness
That's the love and care they deserve..♥️
Onyer is the best! I love him! ❤️
Awe! He’s such a wild 🤪 boy! 🥰🥰
