Orangutans are critically endangered. In just three decades, an estimated 80% of their tropical forest habitat has been lost to oil palm, logging, mining and human expansion. Orangutans risk human-orangutan conflict, orphaned infants are kept as pets, and surviving wild populations face shrinking, fragmented forests. As a keystone species and vital seed disperser, the orangutan's decline threatens the forest ecosystem — and the communities that depend on it. Our critical work must be ongoing.

Orangutan Foundation takes a holistic approach: actively helping to conserve over 500,000 acres – or 284,000 football pitches - of habitat through patrols and monitoring; reintroducing orangutans into the wild; supporting community livelihoods that reduce pressure on forests; restoring degraded forest; and running research and education programmes. Funds raised will ensure that these 5 critical programmes will continue into the future.
