Orangutans Share 97% of Our DNA. They Deserve a Future – Stand with Us to Protect These Amazing Creatures!
The conservation of orangutans has become increasingly urgent and requires the support of all parties to combat the threats of extinction caused by environmental degradation, ecosystem pollution, deforestation, and the ongoing exploitation of nature.

How We Can Protect Them?
Saving and conserving orangutans can be achieved through habitat restoration efforts, individual rescues, as well as collaboration with alliances to combat forest crimes, supported by research and surveys to promote sustainable landscape management. All of this is encapsulated in our concrete actions.
The result of effort and hard work
"Hard work will not betray the results, and the relentless efforts we make to save orangutans and preserve their habitat will yield invaluable success, not only for this species but also for the sustainability of our ecosystem in the future."

Trained Communities
We believe change can be achieved by engaging local communities with the project, through transfer of knowledge and providing chances for them to apply what they have learned. More than 6,350 communities living in all of our project sites have received knowledge and understanding about human orangutan conflict mitigation, forest restoration, organic farming, and conservation at large.
