Urgent action needed to save Sumatran forest

Urgent action needed to save Sumatran forest

25 April 2009

We draw supporters attention to the proposal by timber giant, Asia Pulp & Paper, to clear 33,776 hectares of forest in Bukit Tigapuluh, Sumatra, Indonesia.

Australian Orangutan Project (AOP) reports that this devastating proposal will severely endanger the 100 orangutans released in the park to date via the Bukit Tigapuluh Sumatran Orangutan Reintroduction Project – the only reintroduction site for this critically endangered species.

We encourage you to support AOP as it campaigns for this proposal to be withdrawn. A letter template and contact details are provided on AOP’s website at http://www.orangutan.org.au/writetoapp

How Can You Help

There are lots of ways you can support orangutans and help ensure the survival of this precious ape.

Adopt an Orangutan

Adopt an Orangutan

Orangutans are endangered and at risk of extinction. Habitat destruction results in hundreds of orphaned orangutans, who rely on our care every year. You can help by adopting one. Their dedicated ‘nannies’ teach them everything they need to know for when it’s time to release them back to the wild. You can follow their progress through Forest School.
