Every morning, we start the day by imagining the orangutan where they belong - wild, free and safe in the flourishing pristine rainforests of Malaysia and Indonesia, fulfilling their role in the preservation of its natural habitat, and safeguarding the survival of its species - in harmony with the indigenous communities of these countries. We strive every day to be the difference they need us to be to realise this vision but the situation as far as orangutans and rainforests are concerned is critical. The ever-increasing demand in developed countries for palm oil and timber is decimating the rainforests of Borneo, and consequently its orangutan population as well. If nothing is done to halt this devastation, the orangutan could be facing extinction in the wild within the next 10 years. To address this problem, we are supporting the Nyaru Menteng Rescue Sanctuary which cares for more than 400 orangutans, and Restorasi Habitat Orangutan Indonesia, which will provide a permanent and safe home for those orangutans who are able to be returned to the wild.
