Situation
Orangutans need healthy rainforests. They need fruit trees to feed from, plus large areas of connected forest canopy so they can move safely and make a nest each night. Yet pressures on the Sumatran rainforest from agriculture, oil palm plantations and infrastructure, result in forest loss and fragmented forest islands. This isolates rare, wild orangutan populations and threatens their future survival. It threatens our future too as rainforests help to stabilise our global climate.
Solution
Forest-edge communities hold the key to safeguarding their rainforests for the future. Together with our frontline partners, we will support communities to protect and rewild critical orangutan habitat. Training in orangutan-and forest-friendly farming methods can increase crop yields and keep intact forests standing. Together we can protect and rewild vital orangutan habitats to create healthy, biodiverse forest so orangutans, people and our planet can thrive.
