The Problem

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.

We need to raise $50,000 by 25 December. Don't let our orangutans wait in cages any#GiveNow
