ORANGUTANS ON THE BRINK
Orangutans face considerable threats. In the wild, palm oil production is destroying their forest homes. In captivity, they are cruelly exploited for ‘entertainment’.
But there is hope. The Born Free-supported Orangutan Foundation is working in the rainforests of Indonesia Borneo to save and protect the world’s precious orangutans and their habitat.
The situation for orangutans really is critical. But with your help, we can give them a better future.
