Your gift will help save the orangutan
These images are the heart-breaking reality of the impact of habitat loss.
Illegal encroachers are a massive threat to the future of the orangutan. Please help us stop them before it’s too late.
Last year we asked you to help us secure vital orangutan habitat – and you did! Together we protected an extra 93,900 acres of rainforest in the Bukit Tigapuluh ecosystem, creating a critically important sanctuary for the 170 released orangutans who call it home. Thank you!
But whilst we’ve taken a massive step forward, we are still far short of the 445,000 acres and 2,000 wild orangutans we need under our permanent protection if we are to secure this gentle species from extinction.
And we are still battling day and night with illegal land encroachers, who surround our buffer zone and will not stop while there’s jungle left to plunder.
But we’re not stopping either.
