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.

The Problem
There are numerous threats to the viability of the remaining wild orangutan population in Indonesia and Malaysia.

Other threats, which often go hand-in-hand with the destruction of the rainforest, are the illegal pet trade and poaching.
