We are still far from our goal and our deadline to raise the $200,000 needed to complete the final enclosures for 19 sick, injured, disabled and elderly unreleasable orangutans is rapidly approaching!
We must move them from our old to the new Nyaru Menteng Centre by 30 June. Don't let these remaining orangutans wait any longer–please give now! Every donation will still be doubled up to a total of $40,000!

Sadly, nearly all orangutans in our care were separated from their mothers at a very young age, most often because of the illegal wildlife trade, a process that frequently involves killing the mother to capture the infant.
However, maternal loss is not the only form of trauma our orangutans experience. Many individuals arrive after being kept illegally as pets or exploited in entertainment settings, where they may have been forced to perform, exposed to loud, unfamiliar environments, or subjected to "punishment" during training.
As much as we try to prepare them for life back in the wild, some suffer such severe psychological trauma that they are safer and more secure in an enclosed environment. Others suffer from chronic illness or are too old to live independently. It's 19 orangutans like this who urgently need your help now!
