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

What is that sound echoing through #OrangutanJungleSchool?
One thing is clear: #orangutans Aiko and Jenny are not fond of it at all. They are startled and frightened, quickly seeking comfort from each other or their surrogate mothers.

Please #HelpUs build an orangutan hospital clinic!
Due to the relocation of our Nyaru Menteng Rehabilitation Centre, we currently do not have a clinic onsite and urgently need to construct a new one.
#donatetoday here: bit.ly/Orangutan_Clinic
In addition to emergencies, orangutans often face illnesses, injuries, and infections that require constant expert care. Therefore, we need a fully equipped, state-of-the-art clinic to address every challenge when our orangutans need us the most.
The welfare of the orangutans in our centres is our top priority and is crucial for the success of our #conservation efforts.

Your support means the world—#thankyou!
