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.

533
Orangutans have been released
back to their home.
360
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.

Stop buying products containing palm oil! Cetearyl alcohol is another name for palm oil…found in fac3 creams and cosmetics. Foodstuffs containing vegetable oil that is not specified (eg, the type of vegetable oil) is palm oil. Orangutan habitat is being bulldozed to plant Palm plantations to supply this cheapest of oils to western consumers. The power is with us.
