Your generous one-time gift will help fund our campaign to tackle palm oil companies.

Could help create awareness about the threats amazing animals like orangutans are facing right now.

Could help expose and oppose the destructive industries and companies contributing to deforestation.

Could help fund vital training and equipment for our team of volunteer firefighters on the ground in Indonesia.

We need to act now to stop orangutan's forest home from being destroyed to clear the way for dirty palm oil plantations. Orangutans are on the brink of extinction and can't afford to lose any more of their irreplaceable habitat. 

Your ongoing support is the most effective way to contribute, helping with campaign planning and achieving goals.

Bornean and the Sumatran orangutans spend the vast majority of their lives in the trees of tropical rainforests which have the food and shelter necessary for the continuity of their species. Unfortunately, they are falling victim to widespread deforestation.

Forest fires are often deliberately lit to make way for oil plantations, wreaking havoc for helpless Orangutans which are as a result, being pushed closer and closer to extinction. Already listed as critically endangered, we estimate that in the past 20 years more than 150,000 orangutans have disappeared through deforestation or direct human conflict.

Studies show that at this rate our wonderful cousin will be extinct within 10 years if we do nothing to save this natural habitat.

Orangutans play a vital role in the good health of their ecosystem by making up the rainforest, acting as a natural ‘gardener’, spreading the seeds of the fruit that they eat. If this species were to disappear, many other animals and plants sharing these rainforests could face a similar fate.

Additionally, forest fires used to deforest don’t only put orangutans at risk: the smoke created causes devastating air pollution in a region with thousands of air pollution related deaths including children and the elderly.

By donating to help protect the orangutans' habitat, we then also protect humans and the whole rainforest ecosystem.

They can only be found on the Southeast Asian islands of Borneo and (northern) Sumatra. Unfortunately, these same islands are critically impacted by palm oil companies.

We already knew the Borneo orangutan and Sumatra orangutan but in 2017 another species was discovered: the Tapanuli orangutan. All three species are all endangered, mainly through deforestation.

Female orangutans only give birth every 6 to 7 years and to only one offspring at a time, thus any damage done to their population can take decades to recover.
